Description Nikolaus 2003-06-24 13:37:22 UTC 
When dia is on 100% Zoom, the DIN A4 page on the monitor is much smaller
than in reality. 100% Zoom should be when the monitor size more or less
fits the printed size.

In the current situation you have to scale every image before you can
use it or you have to work on a constatly high zoom level. If you work
on 100% Zoom and export your file it will unexpectedly be four times
greater (tried with ghostview and eps and gimp and png).

The size-scale of fonts and lines is probably related to this issue. To
get a "normal sized" 10pt font you have to set the font size in dia to <
0.5, which is nearly unreadable at 100% zoom.

I know that an 1:1 proportion is impossible without the actual dpi
values of the monitor, but the X values of 75 or 90 should be a
acceptable approximation.
