[Bug 311614] Re: Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom
the way to change DPI in X is to run xrandr --dpi dpi this seems a complicated case: as you see from my screenshot, evince is correct, but xdpyinfo gives me wrong screen dimensions (in millimeters)... -- Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 311614] Re: Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom
Okay. Now I've changed X DPI settings to 114; nothing changed in the Gnome desktop (I think because all nice Gnome libraries use the 114 DPI from Gnome configuration), nothing changed in screenruler (which already gave the right dimensions) and now also evince and xdpyinfo give true dimensions. I'm happy. So it seems that at least in my case evince look to X DPI settings and not to Gnome's. Just to be sure, these are my versions (Intrepid defaults): evince 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 libpoppler-glib30.8.7-1 libpoppler3 0.8.7-1 Thanks! -- Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Stefano, does this happen to all pdf files in your machine? Here's a similar screenshot from mine, where the dimensions seem right... ** Attachment added: pdf_size_screenruler.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20751003/pdf_size_screenruler.png ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: New = Incomplete -- Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, every one displays in the same way. Now that I think of it, I remember I've played with DPI settings some time ago. Indeed, xdpyinfo tells me 96x96 dots per inches; in gnome-appearance- properties I have 114 DPI. If I put 96 DPI in the gnome configuration, evince and screenruler agree on the dimensions, but they're both wrong. So I think evince take the information from xdpyinfo and not from gnome (AFAIK 114 DPI is the right choice for my Macbook). Btw, if you know how to change X configuration, can you tell me? Maybe I should have to change it anyway... -- Document dimensions are not true at 100% zoom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
