[Q]Finding Screen Resolution in IDL [message #6821]

I have a large IDL widget application that creates a number
of windows of varying sizes. The problem is that some of
the machines it runs on have differing screen resolutions
i.e. 100 dpi vs 75 dpi. If I use a 14 point font, it looks fine
on the 100dpi screen, but too large on the 75dpi screen
(the windows are too large and therefore hard to work with
when there are a number open). But if I use, say, a 10point
font, the windows look greta on the lower resolution screen, but
unreadable on the high resolution one.

So, is there a way to test which resolution screen I'm on and
set the font point-size accordingly (perhaps something using
the size of the screen in pixels which I can get via IDL).

Cheers

Tim
