messed up text display with 168 dpi

Hi,

I use a laptop with a display of 168 dpi. The variable Xft.dpi is set to 168 in
my ~/.Xdefaults. When viewing the html part of an email the spacing between
words and between lines is way too big. Setting Xft.dpi to 96 solves the
problem but then the fonts displayed in claws-mail itself but not(!) in the
plugin window are too small. Interestingly, the different dpi settings don't
effect litehtml's font sizes but only the spacing as you can see in the
attached png files. The (separately built) lite browser doesn't have that
problem (but then of course that is built using gtk3).
