display-mm-height for MacOS?

display-mm-height for MacOS?

[David Kastrup]

People are trying out preview-latex, and it would appear that the
size calculations fail utterly.

preview-latex creates bitmaps to fit in well with the screen.  It uses
display-mm-height and display-pixel-height for calculating the
resolution of the screen, and then takes the point size of the default
font to make a guess how large the font is in reality.  This then gets
transformed into pixels, and the resulting images should match up
fine.

Or so is the theory, and the way stuff works under X.

On MacOS, it would appear that this results in awfully large images,
so one of the three above stated dimensions would seem to be quite
wrong.

Just for your information, here are some screenshots of the problem:

And an update for developers: try C-x C-e behind the following
expressions:

(display-mm-height)                ;; 203 on my 13.3" display
(display-pixel-height)             ;; 768 here
(face-attribute 'default :height)  ;; 150 here

Note that the face attribute is specified in tenths of PostScript
points.

I use this data to calculate the pixel height of graphics supposed to
fit the size of the default font.

What output do you Carbonized hackers get?

With the following patch applied, I obtain the following results :

(display-mm-height)                ;; 304 on my 17" 1444*900 LCD display
(display-pixel-height)             ;; 900 here
(face-attribute 'default :height)  ;; 135 here

Note that Mac OSX reports a  72 dpi resolution instead of 100 dpi
in my case.  But may be your calculus take this into account thru
the default font size ?

Could you try this patch?
