option and get a correct value. If you run on PC hardware you
will most likely not be able to use the value given by the
windowing system. You have to measure and set those values by
hand which can be a bit bulky. There is two fields one with the
default measure unit DPI, and one with custom measure unit which
can be useful for those who are used to the metric system.
