[Kde-graphics-devel] Anyone there? Does anyone have ideas to implement KPDF like zooming in Konqueror?

[Mike Dean]

Well there has to be a good way to do it.  Just look at Opera.  I have
wanted this feature for awhile myself, since I use two screen
resolutions: 1600x1200 and 1920x1440.    My screen resolution combined
with this extension for Firefox are why I use Firefox a lot more than
I'd like to.

I really don't think this is a graphics issue, though.  You can't just
scale the entire image because the fonts will get jagged.  The font
scaling has to be the hardest part to get right, as (like Dirk said)
font point sizes are nonlinear.  A nice addition for the meantime
might be the ability to zoom images, as the extension for Firefox
ImageZoom will do.
 
But where there's a will there's a way, and we all know that Opera has
been able to do this for years.  I just wish I knew enough about html
rendering to help.
