In MFC, dialog boxes were designed using DLUs. In WPF, we specify in 1/96inch units. While this would indeed scale windows and visual elements, how do we make make WPF "respect" the current font settings of the user? Should we specify a certain font to be used and stick to that font?

How would one go about layout-ing a "well behaved application"

  • adjusts window sizes to accommodate the current font settings and resolution
  • reflows/layouts windows/text gracefully for small screens.

Any help or guidelines would be appreciated? (Windows User Experience Guidelines is clear about what should happen, but now how it could be implemented in WPF).
