The problem is, how to scale down when we have to deal with Xft's subpixel
decimation (or WinXP's equivalent stuff) ?

One alternative to changing the font size might be to ask (gently) to Pango
if it can render with a slightly anisotropic scaling... maybe that's a
possibility! but I need to read again the API.
