Hi,

on debian's BTS I got the following report at
http://bugs.debian.org/326051 by Cyril Humbert (cyril
dot humbert at univ-mlv dot fr) some time ago:

"The zoom scale doesn't take into account the actual screen
resolution.

For example, with a 17" CRT monitor, if the screen size is
1024x768 (=> about 80 dpi):

- Open a new A4 document;
- Set the zoom factor to 100%;
- The page appears bigger than the A4 format (in fact, it
seems that a 90 dpi resolution is assumed).

Perhaps, it would be nice to have an option to manually
adjust which value is the screen resolution (like in e.g.
gimp or scribus)."

Thanks,

Wolfi
