Hi Dan,

When creating png images of latex fragments in org-create-formula-

-x num
Set the x magnification ratio to num/1000. Overrides the
magnification specified in the DVI file. Must be between 10
and 100000. It is recommended that you use standard magstep
values (1095, 1200, 1440, 1728, 2074, 2488, 2986, and so on)
to help reduce the total number of PK files generated. num
may be a real number, not an integer, for increased
precision.
I don't know what a magstep is, let alone a PK file, but it seems to
suggest something like the patch below. Is there any reason not to
make
a change like this?
I see two problems: First we should find out what "x magnification"
and "magstep" actually is and why the manual suggests using these
"strange" standard numbers. And second: At least dvipng shipped with
debian testing

I remember removing the option precise because some (newer?)
versions of dvipng do not have these options. I believe you can use a
larger DPI to make the image larger.
