Description
Describe the bug
According to WPF UI gallery, the caption FontTypography is 12 sized while Body is 14 sized.
However they look identical and when measuring the pixels they are both identical in height.
Also, the size do not match WinUI3 equivalent typography. Attached is a screenshot of WPF UI gallery vs WinUI3 Gallery.
You can clearly see the size difference between caption and body types in WinUI3, while they look identical in WPF UI gallery.
Apologies if this was a stupid report, I am fairly new to WPF.
To Reproduce
Open WPF UI gallery app, navigate to typograpy section and measure font size in pixels. Compare to WinUI3 equivalent app.
Expected behavior
Different font size is noticeable between caption and body FontTypography.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the WPF UI gallery app's typography section on .NET 8 and compare Caption and Body with the WinUI3 equivalent. Verify the measured pixel heights and identify where the FontTypography sizes are defined; done means Caption is visibly and measurably smaller than Body, matching the expected 12-versus-14 sizing.
