With some small modifications I suggested, one can now easily develop DPI-aware OpenGL applications using C# or .NET in general! Thanks Ilmar!

I will update my article on the CodeProject about OpenGL windows in Vista soon!

Unfortunately, it turns out that there are still a number of problems:

o On 120 dpi, 11pt Segoe UI (Windows Vista’s default UI font) will have a far too large space after the small letter ‘m’.

o Many 3D-applications, including some SDKs, Samples, etc. are not DPI-Aware (also includes Doom 3!). These have to take DPI-Settings into account when projecting from/to the screen.

With more and more high-resolution devices, software vendors should start testing their applications for DPI-Awareness. It’s not a big issue in most cases, it seems.
