I don't agree that you have to fix resolution independence to fix this one.
Consider the case of open office. If you print a 12 point times document, it prints the same regardless of your screen resolution. Consider GIMP. You print a graphic with a certain pixel dimension, it comes out the same on paper regardless of how large or small it was on screen due to your screen resolution. The problem Rev has is that it is somehow using the screen layout to set the print size. This is what its doing wrong and what it is unique in doing. It can and should fix print card without fixing resolution independence. Then, there are two things it can do to fix the IDE display, also without having to fix resolution independence. The first is, make the dictionary display in a browser. This way you can enlarge the font at will. The second thing is to do what open office does to the menu bars, just have three sizes and have people pick one. Which, I would think, you probably should do anyway to comply with disability provisions, if you want to sell into state institutions, which in Britain includes most schools. I also do not think this is a Gnome issue. I almost never use Gnome. But the problem is identical in Fluxbox or WMII or KDE. This is a Linux problem, not a DTE problem, and its a printing problem, not a display problem, and it comes from doing print card as a sort of screen capture, instead of some 'real printing', whatever that would be, like the other Linux apps do.. Where is the source code for revPrintField? I'll take a look at it. Its probably way beyond my intellectual energies at this point, but you never know. It can't be worse than what I am ending up committed to doing in awk.... -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Print-Card-is-broken-in-Linux-because-of-resolution-dependence-tp1746852p1747058.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
