Hi Yannick,

If you use version 3.00/02 available since yesterday, you can specify
a font size in pixels. See short example below.
The font must be precision=3 (eg 53)
see:  http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TAttText.html


{
   TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","c1",600,800);
   c1->Divide(1,3);
   TFile *f = new TFile("hsimple.root"); //file produced in tutorials
   TText t;
   t.SetTextColor(4);
   t.SetTextFont(53); //with precision 3, text size is specified in pixels
   t.SetTextSize(20);
   t.SetTextAlign(22);
   t.SetNDC();
   c1->cd(1);
   hpx->Draw();
   t.DrawText(0,500,"First Text");
   c1->cd(2);
   hprof->Draw();
   t.DrawText(0,10,"Second Text");
   c1->cd(3);
   hpxpy->Draw();
   t.DrawText(0,2,"Third Text");
   c1->cd(0);
}
