Think about it for a moment. 100 dots per inch vs. 75 dots per inch.
The 100 dots per inch is definitely higher resolution. The 100 dpi
fonts are "bigger" than the 75dpi fonts. Frankly I think the resolution
(pitch size) of your monitor, your graphics card and your display
resolution (1024x768 or whatever) make a more significant difference in
visual clarity.
