While good for maximising user control, it is broken behaviour from my
POV. I want either small/medium/big text (while any difference in size
smaller than cca 0.1 mm is totally insignificant for me and for bigger
sizes this threshold even increases) regardless the monitor DPI. 

When I say to GNOME that I want to see 9 pt big fonts everywhere I want
to see them everywhere to be as big as I set them to be - i.e. if I
chose whatever LCD and whatever screen resolution combination, I want it
to have same absolute size (in my case 9 pt). And that behaviour I
expect from web browser as well and I really hate that I need to set
it's settings separately and in pixel-relative size (not to mention the
default settings are way too big for usual DPI). There should at least
be an option (set by default to ON) to use system settings for font.
