 # One knob for apparent text size across the desktop. It drives three settings

-#   • GNOME/GTK's text-scaling-factor    (12px -> 1.0, so 16 -> 1.333)
+#   • GNOME/GTK's text-scaling-factor    (12px -> 1.0, quantized so the GTK
+#     interface font lands on a whole point size, so 16 -> 15pt/11pt = 1.3636)
 #   • the terminal font point size       (12px -> 9pt, so terminal_pt = px * 9/12)
 # The shell override layers on top of the active theme (so the size survives
 # theme switches) and the shell watches the file, so shell text re-flows live.
