Yeah, Windows does a particularly poor job of "managing" the transformations between pixels on the screen and inches in the "real" world. The X Window system has the potential to do better, but many of the GUI X configuration editors don't (easily) let you override or set the ratio, so you have to know how and where to go in and manually set it in the X configuration file. Windows barely even makes a pretense of trying to do something useful with that mapping. Which is terribly annoying, since the DDC data that modern monitors return to the system includes the physical size and the number of pixels in each dimension for the monitor. In other words, it's as easy as reading the monitor's DDC data and computing two Rational values and saving them! -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
