which states
/var/cache is intended for cached data from applications. Such data is

It's not just the resolution. It's also the screen size. A 1024x768 12" v. a

will have fewer pixels per inch.

1280x800 on 13" is ~116 DPI. That produces a specified default 10pt font that
is in actuality 6.2pt (72/116*10), because 1pt is 1/72". That's about half
