Description zeus557 2016-04-17 06:28:04 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
- Take an image with 72 PPI and text on it like a screenshot of a terminal window.
- Export it as PDF
- Open pdf, set viewer size to 100%
- Compare it with the image in GIMP

The image is upscaled and the text is blurry. If you set the pdf viewer size to 75% it looks ok. The expected behaviour is that the image within the pdf has the same size as the image in Gimp, both zoom levels at 100%.

PS: I've seen another program with exactly the same issue using cairo printing.

Did you disable "View -> dot for dot" in GIMP? Also, please upgrade
to 2.8.16, the latest stable.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2016-04-17 13:22:19 UTC 
I just tried this, and it's exactly the same size at 100% in both
GIMP and evince. However both are wrong since they use outdated
API to figure the screen size. GIMP master (unstable) gets it right,
but disagrees with evince.
