One inch is 72 points. On old Macs, screen resolution was 72 dpi, it means 1 pixel = 1 point. Windows originaly used 96 points per inch, but if you recalculate resolutions of current displays, you would get resolutions well above 100dpi. Obviously, 17' Macbook with resolution 1680x1050 has significantly higher dpi then 19' monitor with 1280x1024 resolution, so there is just no standard dpi resolution any more (though many applications still use 96 as a rule of thumb.) -- Peter Bozek _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
