Subject: [PATCH] avoid hard-coded assumptions in image scaling
Date: Sun, 02 May 2021 16:18:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eeeoopnt.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


In image-compute-scaling-factor in images.el, it currently hard-codes
the assumption that the average character width is 10 pixels. Since
`frame-char-width` gives this information though, it seems like it's less
error-prone to use that function instead of assuming.
