(...) I agree. It was inconsistent. I've provided DPM, DPCM, DPMM, and the values specified in meta commands are scaled appropriately. (17 years ago, 7-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: LPub 4 Status
 
(...) I'm actually can provide all of the above and to the math, I just don't want to have units expressed in individual meta commands. I ony want one unit and to have it expressed in the resolution meta command. So I could even have DPDM..... (...) (17 years ago, 7-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LPub 4 Status
 
(...) I'd say that DPM or DPMM make perfect sense. The thing is, your description said that units are all in CM or IN, and that M and MM aren't supported. And yet, you force the user to specify which units to use in either IN, M, or MM. That seems (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) When I looked around on the net I saw references to DPM and DPMM.... I didn't see DPCM.... it does make complete sense to use DPCM, but I wasn't sure people would think its a standard name. Kevin (17 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  LPub 4 Status
 
I've got the math and implementation of resolution (dots per inch/meter/millimeter) as well as magnification for controlling model size relative to the page all worked out. Magnification 1.0 means a model that appears 8 inches wide will just fit in (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev) ! 
 
  Re: LPub DPI control?
 
(...) Hi Rosco, I'm going to make my font dialog, and default font picker only work with scalable fonts. They are perfect for this kind of situation. I guess that is why they were created by Adobe a long time ago (I read the Wiki!) Thanks, Kevin (17 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: LPub DPI control?
 
(...) I learnt a fair bit fiddling with (URL) Freetype> in (URL) txt2dat>, which has to translate point size to ldraw units. Freetype makes it pretty easy, as it gives you a nice API that works for lots of scalable fonts. I chose not to support (...) (17 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
