Ordinary users don't care about DPI any more than they do about what number point or pixel size their favorite font size is. Why can't something akin to http://people.gnome.org/~federico/news-2007-01.html be employed so that no one gets initialized or stuck with unsuitable sizes? Snap the result to a multiple of 4, 6, 12 or 24 so that font steps between sizes coordinate well with common scalable font behavior, and for those who desire greater accuracy, offer an advanced opt-out to the snap. Provide optional inputs for screen width, height and/or diagonal and the under-the-covers DPI might occasionally turn out to match the display density, an ideal result for probably most people. Focus on getting it suitable for single display users before attacking multis. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
