That code is bizarre. I followed it scratching my head, not realising
that in the end, it's just a 'return 134´.

The logic and the comment block say nothing about this magic number.

We can bump the dpi setting to 150. But there's a lot of tiny fonts
out there. And tiny fonts in colour mode do suffer from the 'swizzle'
thing...
