That's what was used in Pango up to 1.2.3.  Truly, we should query the
screen for its DPI (we can get screen width in pixels and mm, but
apparently the mm isn't very reliable).  It claims for instance that my
screen is >43 cm width, but the total viewable width is <37 cm.  Right now,
I just want fonts to correspond to the diagram size.  Later it'd be nice to
actually figure out the right size and make one cm at 100% be one cm
on-screen.
