Without wishing to be difficult when you are trying to help, I'd just
like to point out a small but common misconception here. Just because
Apple's product catalog now features screen with more than 72 dpi it
doesn't necessarily mean that all, or even most, developers are using
such screens. I'm coding on what is proudly labeled an "Apple Multiple
Scan 1705 Display" (manufactured July 1996). Claimed to be 17" but it
can only resolve 1024 x 768. I guess this ought to be an advantage for
me in this case because it means both my screen and my print text come
out about the same size so I can scale them both down (after I found
the font size in Xcode, cleverly hidden under the name "Syntax
Coloring"), but it turns out that 9 point is good for printing but too
small to read comfortably on screen.
Which brings us back to the original thought, that print font size
should be specified independently of screen font size
You can of course scale the print job to something smaller (I use 70%)
in the page setup dialog. We remember the printer settings between
runs so you only have to set it once.
Thank you. that pretty much solves the above ramble. Thank you for
reading this far.
