Hello everybody,
I was wondering about some things:
Why does FOP not use meta data (specially dpi) from images? I know it
doesn't, I read the documentation. I just wonder why.
Of course, when you don't read that information, you have to set a dpi
resolution.
Why is it 72 dpi? Every screen these days has >96dpi. Printers have even
higher dpi.
Another question is, is it configurable? I read a different post about this,
but nobody answered. Can I change these default 72 dpi to 96 dpi?
I'm asking these questions because I'm a docbook user, and I use FOP.
For our printed documentation we use FOP. We have _a lot_ of screenshots.
Now I have to set the absolute width for every image instead of setting dpi
to 96 dpi in FOP.
I cannot scale the images, they are also used for our html documentation.
Is there something I can do?
Are there plans for FOP to use image meta data?
Thanks in advance,
Hinrich
