In the QPainter API?
Yes but you can scale the painter, and draw everything zoomed in, to get
more precision - this is what Lars recommended that we do.
KWord used to do that at some point (see bool doZoom in KWView::print),
but since not all KOffice parts support(ed) zooming, I had to disable it.
Since then I haven't had time to experiment with it. If anyone feels like it,
just set it to true, and see if that works.
