So, just to be clear... are you saying that these carefully tweaked
settings work across a variety of DPI values, physical screen sizes,
and different numbers of pixels, or are you saying that when you move
to a new machine with different parameters, you need to do some more
tweaking (but much less than starting from scratch)?
