I used a ruler. It was in my desk. I don't have a nice enough monitor
to worry about. It was hard to do because of the back lighting and the
curve. I would have liked to use a piece of 35mm film, soft and
translucent. I don't really need it to be so accurate, but mine was
really really off. My squares look square now. I thought it was an
illusion from the window decoration, but it wasn't.
But I believe the concern was of monitor surfaces.
I like to hear of international standards, also.
