Changeset Sketcher: Compensate for Coin not taking the dpi of the monitor into account in font pixel setting

==================================================================================================

Coin documentation indicates the size of a font is:

SoSFFloat SoFont::size Size of font. Defaults to 10.0.
For 2D rendered bitmap fonts (like for SoText2), this value is the height of a character in screen pixels. For 3D text, this value is the world-space coordinates height of a character in the current units setting (see documentation for SoUnits node).

However, with hdpi monitors, the coin font labels do not respect the size passed in pixels:

Because I (abdullah) have 96 dpi logical, 82 dpi physical, and I see a 35px font setting for a "1" in a datum label as 34px,
and I see kilsore and Elyas screenshots showing 41px and 61px in higher resolution monitors for the same configuration, I think
that coin pixel size has to be corrected by the logical dpi of the monitor. The rationale is that: a) it obviously needs dpi
correction, b) with physical dpi, the ratio of representation between kilsore and me is too far away.

This means that the following correction does not have a documented basis, but appears necessary so that the Sketcher is usable in
HDPI monitors.
