Let me explain with this last email.

Pick one; since one excludes the other, having a higher resolution means images get smaller on screen and at the same time your X DPI wil also get larger. If you don't like the result; fix the size you told your X server. > This is not what WYSIWYG means. What you want if for the width of the > web page and/or screen to match the width of the paper.

You just described that what you see is what you want on your paper; so that makes it WYSIWYG. > However, I'm still not clear on when Qt uses 72 DPI to size images. Why don't you dig into the sources to find out; emailing about image sizes printed from konq does not lead to the answer. - -- Thomas Zander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/nnAJCojCW6H2z/QRAszRAJ9/WfCpY41+1z1CEPmCGB2X60i+3wCfdyCU 6lIypIB83uXWLMsW0fc7rpY= =zaLs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@mail.kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
