      From: michael.pohoreski@gmail.com              > One can break this discussion into two components:       > Point size. Print out, or use a reference document and compare actual text       size. Say 10pt on the ref document compared to the displayed text being larger       or smaller.       > The other component is DPI, dots per inch as was calculated above.              Point Size is a good idea.              Another strategy would be to print a 80x24 grid on transparency film paper.        (One can use a laser printer or inkjet printer.)              That way you can move this transparent grid closer, or further back, to get       the right amount of scaling that shows where there is too much whitespace, too       little whitespace, fonts are too small, or fonts are too big.              Michael              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
