FXML and high dpi screens

[Danno Ferrin]

I think it should be addressed in the fxml.  In fact, I think it can all be
done in com.sun.javafx.fxml.BeanAdapter, at least relative to the default
font, inside the coerce method.  The coerce method could be adapted to add
some context object so that the font of the current or enclosing font could
be used too, but for my needs the default font would work

I'll try and get a patch together in the next few days to demonstrate my
thinking.
