Or am I miscalculating > dpi with the standard 1280x1024 17" flatpanel? I haven't seen any cases recently where the DPI was set correctly by default. I always had to specify it explicitly. On my newest machine (resolution is 1400 x 1050 pixels on a 15" TFT screen) I had to set it to 120 DPI. The default was 75. Best Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
