I looked in the EFL libraries for the one responsible of the fonts and
edje seemed to be the correct one, my fault.

New pictures are available.

Ignoring both X.Org dpi reporting and Xft settings?  Well, in that case
I disagree and I will stop complaining here, feel free to tag this bug
as wontfix.

I tried now:

- if I do not specify any -dpi setting for nodm, the automatic (wrong)
  scaling value is 142 and I can get the correct fonts with a scaling
  value of 48 (which is half of the dpi value X.Org reports)

- if I specify '-dpi 285' for nodm, by default the scaling value is 142
  (again, half of the dpi value X.Org reports)

- if I specify '-dpi 285' for nodm and I select "Don't Scale" I get the
  same output as with no -dpi setting for nodm and automatic scaling

To me, all the above results sound like a bug somewhere.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
