I have noticed over the past couple of days that PostScript text files
viewed with gv(1) looked sort of funny on my new wide-screen LCD
display. Not scaled the same horizontally and vertically, so the
characters were squeezed one way or another. Also the on-screen page
size had the wrong aspect ratio.
Got myself a clue -- gv uses its internal knowledge of the screen
dimensions to scale the display. Sure enough, when I changed State ->
Setup Options -> Screen Size from 361x292 mm to 524x321 mm, everything
looked right again.
I don't remember setting 361x292 myself in the past, maybe it happened
when gv was installed. Anyhow, one can learn the screen dimensions by
running xrandr(1x) or by taking the metric measuring tape to the
actual display.
