Comment(by tomeu):

 Ok, so tested this approach on an eeepc and a XO and seems to work fine.
 Gtk/pango calculates correctly the default font size so it's a matter of
 setting the correct SUGAR_SCALING values for icon sizes, etc

 What needs to be done is:

 - Remove any font sizes from sugar/data/gtkrc.em

 - Remove any font sizes from sugar-toolkit/src/sugar/graphics/style.py

 - Remove any font sizes from terminal-activity/terminal.py (Monospace 8)

 - Change the kickstart file to generate a .Xclients file that will guess
 the correct SUGAR_SCALING value from xdpyinfo:

 {{{
 xsetroot -def

 RESOLUTION=$(xdpyinfo | grep resolution | sed "s/.*
 \\([0-9][0-9]*\\)x.*/\\1/")

 if [ "$RESOLUTION" -gt 150 ]; then
     SUGAR_SCALING=100
 else
     SUGAR_SCALING=72
 fi

 SUGAR_SCALING=$SUGAR_SCALING sugar

 }}}
