Thats the concept I'm looking for. Is it available in C# anywhere?

Actually, this particular example works only when your dialog uses the "System" font, which is no longer the default font for dialogs. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645475(VS.85).aspx

A: 

There's a WinAPI function to map dialog units to pixels.
