[Qgis-user] Text Size in WMS maps

What server is the WMS? Many servers support the DPI parameter nowadays
(not in the OGC standard - but most servers implement them). I know that
both UMN Mapserver and QGIS server support the DPI parameter.

Would be nice if the QGIS WMS client would support it as well - esp.
when printing/exporting the WMS.
