Thanks, Ben.
I've confirmed this on paper. This _could_ be some of
that "unstable" math that I had previously mentioned.
Then again, it could be something else entirely.
The printer's DPI (maybe 300?) is quite likely
different than the screen DPI (96?), thus causing
niggly effects like this when you do division.
Pat Lam and I are going to work on this ASAP and get
it into a better state.
Could someone with win32 skillz fix the ruler bug now
please? It should just be a matter of getting
'getGUIFont()' done properly.
Thanks for finding this edge-case. Can you try some
"real world" examples, maybe, too?
