font size

[nzlyoung]

Hi,

I am trying to preview the text on the browser and will generate a document (pdf) destined to print so preview needs to be same as
the print.

Just wondering if there is any way to match the font-size (pixel perfect) on the web with imagemagick created image or pdf.

I need to get this exactly the same for design purpose. I've tried using exact size (e.g. 12pt) on the web and -pointsize 12 but somehow imagemagick created document is much smaller.
I'm new to this image magic world so any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Don.

with pdf as output, you need to specify the -density and -units to control the size of the output image (as dots per inch or dots per centimeter) as viewed on the browser. But the browser can change the size of a pdf to anything desired. So it is really just a matter of the quality produced by the -density.
