Nope, depends entirely on the graphics card, resolution selected, and
the monitor size actually attached.  None of which is known or
available in any standard way.  I've known people to run between
600x800 and 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor.  Obviously the actual DPI
varies considerable across that range!
