Take a look at the output of the program xdpyinfo, it'll tell you the number of dots per inch. Just Divide the number of pixels by the amount given by xdpyinfo (86 in my case) You could of course request a new feature, but this is not the list to ask for that. 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.
