Well most of the graphics on my pc have either no dpi entry or 72, but I found one with 300dpi and this too is larger (x4) when used with xelatex. (it is not a graphic I can share so we can't test if it works for you too). > > So that leads us back to the jpg itsef - two things I notice about the > jpg are a different vertical and horizontal dpi (601 and 600 > respectively).

I checked the image properties with irfanview and it shows 601x601 dpi and resolution unit "inch". -- Ulrike Fischer -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
