/**
 * This is the default implementation of the {@link UnitConverter} interface.
 * It converts horizontal and vertical dialog base units to pixels.<p>
 *
 * The horizontal base unit is equal to the average width, in pixels,
 * of the characters in the system font; the vertical base unit is equal
 * to the height, in pixels, of the font.
 * Each horizontal base unit is equal to 4 horizontal dialog units;
 * each vertical base unit is equal to 8 vertical dialog units.<p>
 *
 * The DefaultUnitConverter computes dialog base units using a default font
 * and a test string for the average character width. You can configure
 * the font and the test string via the bound Bean properties
 * <em>defaultDialogFont</em> and <em>averageCharacterWidthTestString</em>.
 * See also Microsoft's suggestion for a custom computation
 * <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;125681">custom computation</a>.
 * More information how to use dialog units in screen design can be found
 * in Microsoft's
 * <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997619">Design
 * Specifications and Guidelines</a>.<p>
 *
 * Since the Forms 1.1 this converter logs font information at
 * the {@code CONFIG} level.
