    I think (I'm not 100% sure) that this is potentially a
    positive side-effect of our work. I think that before,
    we were rendering things at 72dpi, but now we're
    rendering at the screen's DPI, which was 96 on Marc's
    box.

    You can test my theory out by having
    'getDeviceResolution()' return 72.

    How does 'Fit To Width' look?

    Cheers,
    Dom
