you'll also get a larger border when zoomed to fit than if you zoom in 1:1 if you're not careful. also synchronizing with the preview pipeline will be a problem. or if we decide to support large resolutions for print by scaling up first and then processing. also i don't see how pixel sizes matter. -jo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
