The default is to use 75 dpi fonts, so 1024 pixels ----------- = 13.6533 inches = 13.6533 * 25.4 mm = 346.7946 mm 75 dots / in 768 pixels @ 75dpi = 260.096 mm Or if you have a more precise screen you man be using the 100dpi fonts: 1024x768 @ 100dpi = 260.604 x 195.072 mm --- Your DisplaySize line starts with "#", so probably isn't actually being used. -- Dr. Andrew C.
