Many people have both 75dpi and 100dpi fonts in their font paths.

Not quite -- xdpyinfo calculates the actual dot pitch of the monitor
which is probably not exactly 75 or 100.  My display, for example, says:

        screen #0:
          dimensions:    1152x900 pixels (309x230 millimeters)
          resolution:    95x99 dots per inch

And, of course, if you have multiple screens (and some people do),
you'll get information for each of them.
