Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Please be careful using point size.

 For a TrueType font, the relation between point size and the size of the
 resulting text is completely arbitrary and font-specific. Chew on that one
 for a while.

 12 point Whatever can legitimately be the same physical size as 7 point
 DejaVu.
