See this [4] and this [5] To guarantee equal size, the size must be specified in "real" units (cm, pt, inch) not in relative units (em, px). If there is no size specified for a bitmap image, the size in the end document depends on the resolution (px per inch) wich is configurable (while setting a fixed size in the source is easier). > What I want is to modify the rst files (and avoid tex munging if > possible) so that I can push my changes to svn. Try whether PNG images and specifying the size in the source already solve your problems. BTW: For scalable (vector) images, you need separate formats for HTML (SVG) and LaTeX (PDF).
