Different OS's, different font sizes?

Maybe this is naive of me, but is it expected for fonts to render much smaller on OSX than on Windows? I have a QML application that runs on both Windows (7) and OSX (10.8). I’m using the same font on both (literally the same font – they’re exactly the same ttf files – installed on both Windows and OSX). When I run the application with the same QML files specifying the same point sizes, the letters are noticeably smaller on OSX than on Windows – its really easy to see because I can compare them to the size of adjacent bitmaps in the QML screen. Is this expected? Is there any kind of a workaround that I could employ that wouldn’t involve having separate QML files for OSX and Windows?
