after some tests I concluded that the problem is, that Xorg (xrandr, xdpyinfo, and so on) is wrongly assuming physical display dimensions. It will assume your screen is 4:3 or 16:9 even if it is not. Texmaker is one of the few programs paying close attention to the resolution and thus distorting pdf output, as it calculates different DPI-values for X and Y, i.e., adapting to non-square pixels and adjusting for that.
I tried correcting the pixel-dimensions ratio using xrandr but it simply ignores it. So I made a small patch for texmaker that will force square pixels geometry, even if Xorg reports it wrong. After all, all other pdf viewers don't seem to care about non-square pixels either. ** Patch added: "patch-square-pixels.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texmaker/+bug/1609942/+attachment/5136779/+files/patch-square-pixels.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609942 Title: internal pdf viewer distorts document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texmaker/+bug/1609942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
