Thanks for the useful hints. In case anybody is interested,
the solution I came up with was the following, which appears
to work on the machines I have access to.

The user can define a specified environment variable to
be either 10,12 or 14. If this env. var. exists and has
a sensible value, then that's the font size I use for
the widgets.

If the variable isn't set up properly, then I check the
value of !d.y_ch_size. If this is less than 10, then I
set the font size to 12, otherwise I set it to 10. This
appears to work and keep the widgets reasonably to a
similar size on 100 dpi and 75 dpi font workstations.
