Windows DPI setting and default font size

Hello,

I've found a problem of the IETester which occurs when you change the Windows DPI setting to other than 100%.
If you set DPI to larger than 100%, the IETester's default font size becomes larger. It doesn't occur in normal IE8, so it makes hard to check the rendering of page specifying the font size in relative to the default (for example "body {font-size: 90%;}").
All IE 6-8 tabs seem to be affected by this problem.
My workaround is to change the Text Size setting of the IETester to Smaller, but it doesn't bring me an exact 16px.

How to reproduce:
1. Open the Control Panel (All Items View) > Display.
2. Check the "Medium - 125%" and click "Apply" button.
3. Logoff and Login again.
4. Launch the IETester and open an IE8 tab.
5. Open a page "<html><body>hello world!</body></html>".
6. Launch the original IE 8 and open the same "hello world" page.
7. Notice that the text size of the IETester is larger than
    that of the original IE 8.

My environment:
* Windows 7 Ultimate (6.1.7600 Japanese)
* Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)
* IETester 0.4.4

Thank you.
