I didn't just cite it, I wrote its last revision, an extensive overhaul,
inspired largely by repeated threads like this one here and on other
mailing lists:
http://cvs-www.mozilla.org/webtools/bonsai/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla-org/html/unix/dpi.html&rev=&root=/cvsroot/
and am the last to have been tweaking on
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html :

My response was to the discussion of directly controlling fonts via
about:config. There is no direct way to do it; there are no about:config
entries for UI font-family nor UI font-size. Changing
browser.display.screen_resolution via about:config is a profile-specific
kludge for those who can't manage to get their system DPI correctly set,
which when done benefits all Gecko profiles & system users, and not just
when running Mozilla.org apps. Note that that article section attempts
to get the user to get the system DPI correctly set first before
mentioning the pref setting.
