It certainly used to be the case that Windows video drivers would "lie" about their pixels per inch value, and claim to be less than they really were, so fonts would be physically larger on the computer screen than on paper. That's because one generally sits further from a computer screen than from a printed document, and 10pt text which would be comfortable to read on paper would not be comfortable on a computer screen. What you got when you asked for 10pt text on the screen would really be about 14-16pt. Printer drivers told the "truth", so when you printed your document, you'd get your requested 10pt text on paper.
