My guess would be :

pixsize = !d.y_ch_size * !p.charsize ; or your own charsize --> gives
size in pixels
normsize = convert_coord(pixsize,/device,/to_normal)
UGLY! That doesn't work! Well, then
normsize = pixsize/!d.y_size

[or maybe you'll have to use !d.x_ch_size and !d.x_size for better results ...]

Hope this gives you an idea at least,
Martin.
