That aspect ratio issue is entirely dependent on font. You can change
that even in Windows, and, stupidly, some of the *sizes* are based on
.FON fonts, which have a completely different ration than the .TTF fonts
used for the other sizes. It doesn't scale them, or otherwise allow you
to set an arbitrary size, but is purely *fixed* to what ever internal
sizes exist in the font definition files. Got to be the stupidest, and
most annoying, aspect of the whole damn thing, especially if you planned
to have a "small" copy open, to look at something, but still have it
legible, while working in other, also open, windows, without having to
alt-tab between them. Hint - the small enough one for that, isn't
legible at all (well, unless maybe you had a display 40 inches wide..).
