Re: gEDA-user: Honey, I shrunk the schematic

[Rick Collins <gnuarm.2006@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why do you need to use any standard sizes on a computer?  Using 
Orcad, I start with a size that I have chosen as my "standard" and if 
I end up needing a bit more room for a given page, I just bump up the 
dimensions a nudge while keeping the same aspect ratio.  It all 
prints on the same A size paper if I need to, but I don't think I've 
printed a schematic on paper in two years.  I print to PDF and it all 
fits my screen just fine.  Can't TinyCAD work with arbitrary page sizes?

I will say the ISO sizes have a larger aspect ratio which fits a wide 
display a bit better in landscape mode.
