# [Resolution]

<- Property Sheets -dpi: specifies the resolution of the employing font. When Printing, if the printer resolution does not match that of the fonts, printed result would not be proper.
This is the most important parameter. If you need different values from the default (300 dpi), you must specify proper values. The size of Preview can be reduced by using a gray scale at a lower resolution (cf. [Display]).
-mag: Usually, displaying and printing are based on the \magstep written in the dvi file (default). When using a different \magstep, you must specify the value for this parameter.
-dpiv: This specifies resolution in the vertical direction in dpi. If the resolution in the horizontal and the vertical directions are the same, you do not have to care of this. Only when they differ, check this option and specify the value.
-e: This specifies the magnification or reduction in the vertical and horizontal direction. A variable-sized font such as a Windows TrueType font is magnified or reduced according to this value. The vertical and horizontal sizes are magnified/reduced by 1000 x the specified value.
-varf: When the size was changed by -e:, the scale of a fixed-size fonts is changed by dviout to the correct size. In this case, dviout will perform some smoothing for these fonts, but the display quality may become poor.
