Inconsistent font sizes

I have a question about configuring font sizes in TDE Control Centre. I would expect that setting 
a given font size under a given screen resolution will always produce the same rendering result. 
That however is not the case - see attached screenshots. These were taken on two different 
machines running a FHD resolution. As you can see font sizes are set to be identical on both 
system but the results of font rendering are totally different between the systems. I am guessing 
that this is because the rendering engine is trying to somehow compensate for different physical 
sizes of the actual screens (15,6" on the laptop vs. 24" on the desktop) but the end result is 
far from what I want. There's a setting to force a font DPI of either 96 or 120 and the result is 
that it indeed makes the font on the laptop much much smaller and seemingly consistent with what 
the desktop shows. I would, however, want things the other way around, i.e. set the desktop to 
the same rendering results as on the laptop. Any way I can set a DPI different than the 
predefined options?
