Strictly speaking, one Postscript unit(?)/(definitely not point) in the coordinate system has no length in itself, just a value, until it is mapped to an output device. Or, it seems, I'm maybe using terms a little bit strange way. By 'length' I mean something that can be measured, exactly, by pixels, and by 'value', anything in that abstract Postcript space that finally gets mapped to device space. I guess I'm a little confused even myself what certain terms mean, but what I'm trying to say is 'One inch are 72 Postscript points' is not exactly true, although in reality and the modules supposed use, it probably is not going to harm anyone. In fact, less than making a distiction between those things. Jouni Ahto
