A lot of GUI "designers" simply assume fixed font sizes (i.e. in pixels), to make layout of dialog boxes etc. much easier. It's a lot harder to make a fully resizable design, that also adopts to different font sizes and/or styles. So if you (like me) have a 22" monitor with 1920x1440 resolution, you end up with extremely tiny, almost unreadable dialogs in most applications. :(
