SWT snippet to reproduce the problem with.

One of our developer reported a problem with SWT and printing (on paper). Printed sheets have different font size depending on the monitor DPI (e.g. wide-screen vs. old non-wide screen monitors).

This should be coming from bug 545953, where this change was added:

Unfortunately I don't have a setup with which I can work on  this, or present more insights.
