Ideally, the X server has the correct DPIs and the application is written to use them. The application can discover the number of pixels in a 12pt font and enlarge or not depending on the answer and the purpose. Given that many applications don't do that, lying about the DPIs is a perfectly sensible thing to do. That isn't good for applications that would otherwise do the right thing. There probably isn't a good answer for letting existing applications coexist. Perhaps new applications could look for resources like REAL_DPIX and REAL_DPIY. If they are there and represent numbers, they would be used instead of the lies told the X server.
