That's already supported; you can set the screen physical size to any
value you like and applications should use that to compute text sizes
(and they do, mostly). I'd also like to report the physical monitor size
(which, for projectors, EDID specs as 0 x 0) in case applications are
interested in the 'real' size of the screen.
