      Problem Description: The result of calling java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenResolution() is incorrect on Windows. It seems to be tied to the font size chosen within the Windows/DisplayProperties and not to the actual graphic card or screen capabilities.
      As a result, you can use the DisplayProperties menu to modify screen resolution and this change will not be apparent when the getScreenResolution() method is used.

      Suggestion: could Java support some system properties that define the screen characteristics? It would be a relatively convenient way for end-users to calibrate their graphics capabilities, and end up getting "true"
      results using our software.
