Back when I had an Amiga, I could do absolute printing. If I wanted a 2.4 by 3.7 cm box, 5.5 by 12 cm from the left corner, I could do that. Later on, printers and/or drivers seemed to think that my absolute dimensions related to the page should be applied relative to the printing margins, instead; and content shrunk down relatively, as well. It was one hell of an annoyance to try and get printouts to be what they were supposed to be. It's not far removed from the tomfoolery of video displays with Linux. If I say put 12 point text on the screen, then put 12 point text on the screen. It knows the screen size, it knows the pixel count, it should put 12 point text on the screen, unscaled. It shouldn't make it bigger or smaller because it wrongly thinks 12 point text isn't an absolute type size, and wrongly thinks it should scale everything based on what it thinks about distance someone may be viewing the screen from, or other wrong thinking. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 7 14:49:57 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
