[Bug 311614] Re: If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom
This might be a bug in screenruler. If I change the DPI of the screen and the document is set to 100% (representing physical size), then, the document should change its size. That is, if the document is A4 and I put an actual A4 sheet on top of the screen, changing the DPI should not change the document size. Nevertheless, the 100% zoom of evince 3.8 is slightly wider in my screen in 3.8 (not smaller) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 Title: If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/311614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 311614] Re: If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom
Dimitrios, I think the latter: "x.dpi=gnome.dpi' . Or at least, the user should be able to configure GNOME to use the X Windows DPI at any time, without manually looking up what the X Windows DPI is and entering the same number into the GNOME configuration. A GNOME DPI setting should really be for emergency use only, not normal use. The window system, whether X or MS, should normally be the authorative source. -- If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 311614] Re: If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom
the question is, should we request that evince reads DPI from Gnome instead of X, or should we ask for x.dpi == gnome.dpi ??? -- If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

the bug should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody considering the behaviour as buggy and wanting to argue with them about what it should be doing -- If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marking as triaged. Should we forward this upstream, or is it a "won't fix"? ** Summary changed: - Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom + If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom ** Description changed: Binary package hint: evince From File->property you can get the dimensions of a PDF you're viewing. At 100% zoom level, the document is about 20% smaller (in each dimension) than it should be. For comparison, screenruler shows the right dimensions, so it should be possible taking screenruler's detection algorithm which seems to work better. + + [Update] + The cause is a discrepancy between the DPI value in Gnome and in X: All other programs read the Gnome value, while Evince reads from X. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- If DPI in X != DPI in Gnome, document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
