Are you sure that's right? This doesn't look like a conversion to dots
per meter:

size_t dots_per_meter = dpi * 2.54 * 100.0

To my eyes, unit-wise, that looks like dots/inch * cm/inch * cm/m =
dots * m / inch**2. The original looks correct in regard to units to
me:

size_t dots_per_meter = dpi * 100 * (1 / 2.54) -> dots/inch * cm/m *
inch/cm -> dots/m

Am I missing something?
