Ruler labels print far larger than they display
Using klayout to mess with some old survey DXFs,
the ruler label text is set up sensibly but hard copy
magnifies the ruler text by about 10X and looks a
bit kooky.
What controls that scaling, for the print process?
Other features look same-same vs display.

Hmm ... I have a few samples with rulers and they look good to me.
Do you have a sample file that shows this effect?

Couldn't figure out how to show the printed
output, other than this:
I see
Initially I understood you mean the dimension objects in DXF.
It does not look bad in my case ... but maybe that is only my hardware combination. I will try on other screens and printers.
Does the problem also occur if you print to PDF?

Hi Matthias,
Wonder if it's to do with 4K panel vs printer but seems
to be confined to text scaling, not objects. Maybe in the
text rendering, "scaling stack" of DBU to pixel to DPI at
those particular objects (probably having their own
particular code-branch for rendering)?
I notice a lot of "funny picky stuff" in Linux window
manager (xfce) X scaling. Brand X popups get
malformed once I start changing text font size
(good look, for north of $100K/seat/yr, amirite?).
