I think it is actually the same issue :) If I use the foils class, the
preview snippet will not have the right size because the defults size
is not 10pt and the default font on screen is larger that Normal. So
what the code should do is ask to generate previews with a size which
fits the normal size in latex.

OK, OK this is not clear, but I would need to read the code and take
some time to explain it better. In a few words, there should be a way
to tell latex what our normal size is (in pixels?) and then the latex
preview code should use information on what its internal normal size
it and derive scaling factors from there.
