On the other hand, this is probably the right list to point out that the description for Debian's kruler package says it supports inches, centimeters and pixels: Package: kruler Description: a screen ruler and color measurement tool for KDE Kruler is a screen ruler (supporting inches, centimeters, and pixels) and color measurement tool for KDE. . This package is part of KDE, as a component of the KDE graphics module. See the 'kde' and 'kdegraphics' packages for more information. -- Miguel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
