I'm no sure what you mean by "more like 16 pts on paper". The size on screen
is also related to the resolution settings of your monitor. There is
actually no such thing as an "absolute" size 12. Yes, the printed size will
be different for the same font at the same pts.
That's the whole reason why there is a separate setting for "Printed items".
If you have Plain Text setting as 12 pts, Printed Items 2 10 pts will
approximate the same size for the same font. A different font will be a
different size. Go down to 9 pts or lower if you need to. It won't affect
the screen font size.
