Is "1/cents per polish mark" the same as "polish marks per cent"? In which case let's change to "Polish marks per US cent".

@mmcky This has come up a few times: "Set global dpi default." We are referring to fig, ax = plt.subplots(dpi=200) and similar.

We strive for uniformity in the figures and code that creates them, so ordinary figures should not be deviating from defaults. If they need to, then the defaults need to be fixed. Can we please have a policy on this?
