That's also a good way, and adds a shortcuts for it. > BTW, I just tried the Physical Size zoom, and it's reasonably > accurate, even on two screens that don't have the same physical > resolution (MacBook 15.4 and Cinema Display 24).

The system (by default) just assumes it's exactly 72dpi, and does the calculations based on that assumption (i.e. it assumes a rescaling factor of 1 from internal scales to the screen). In practice of course that's never the case, resolutions are much higher nowadays. On Leopard you can change the internal rescaling factor yourself, and make "1 inch" really 1 inch. Though I believe that with current high resolution screens that looks really big.
