I feared something like this will happen, I guess you get also  
problems with hyperlinks etc.



Anyway, I'll try the resolution method.

By the way, is there any chance that I can use a stretched font

disturbing the output routine? I think I can try a narrow font and

my pictures.


AFAIK XeTeX has such a feature but is the presentation worth such

That won't go well. The projector is as stupid as it could be. It will

the projector will produce a wide version on a wide ratio. It'll be

Can't you set the same resolution on your laptop as the projector has,
the layout on your laptop is then deformed but the screen version is
correct.


Well, that's a good idea. But actually, that's not really "my" laptop so
I can't test it right now.

I hope the notebook is not too old (which I assume it can be) to support
a wide screen resolution.


set your laptop at the desired (i.e. projector) resolution before 
connecting it to the beamer i.e. don't let the beamer try to be clever 
and talk to the laptop ... just letting the laptop lie to the beamer 
that it has a matching resolution is often safer; it is seldom a problem 
if the presentation on the your laptop screen is somewhat deformed

Otherwise, maybe you can make a pdf -> ps,
apply a matrix transformation with ghostscript  to this ps and reconvert to
pdf
Or you can use something like
