[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.82; Font sizes in previews too small on Windows

[Ralf Angeli]

The following screenshot shows part of circ.tex and the font size in
the previews seems to be too small compared to the font used in Emacs:

I haven't had time to investigate this more closely.  Maybe someone
has an idea right away about what is causing this or knows if this is
a known bug.

Other peculiarities in the screenshot are the way the heading is
highlighted (picture a mouse pointer above it) and the erroneous
newline in the tooltip.  I currently don't recall how images are
supposed to be highlighted.  Was that a frame around it?  (Anyway, I
guess those are are likely Emacs bugs.)
