When given the "-scaled" option fetch the actual screen resolution and add that to the list of available resolutions for the resX and resY menus. I.e. If the pattern contains '*' for the resX and resY fields (i.e. instead of '0') then we wil end up with the menu containing "0, 100, NNN", which makes for a really good demonstration of how scaling of fonts without knowing the true screen resolution can lead to very wonky results. Even if the values in the pattern are '0' you still get the true DPI as an option in the menus. When you specify a size for a scalable font, you should use points, never pixels. Points are a physical unit of measurement. There are always 72 points per inch. Never more or less. So to scale fonts properly on a screen the scaler needs to know the resolution of the display in pixels per inch in order to render text at a measurable physical point size. In the current X11 world it is still up to the user to correctly speci...
