Are you sure? (Note that dpi_y is the value that is actually used,
dpi_x is currently ignored.) Giving a value of 10 would cause 
exactly the sort of problems you were describing. 

In pango-1.2.3 the value that would have been used was 75 dpi,
if you are interested in matching that, but I'd think you'd
have your own desired value based on maintaining correspondance
between the screen and printer.

(Since for pango-1.0.x, the dpi value *was* used, I don't consider
the fact we started using it again any sort of compatibility 
breakage.... it was just a bug in pango-1.2.0 => 1.2.3)
