Setting the Screen Magnification and Resolution
The Editing magnification (edit-mag) option allows you to control the type size at which the Equation Editor's screen display appears. Enter a decimal number representing the amount by which you want to magnify the screen representation of the Equation Editor. A value of less than one shrinks the representation. For example, when screen magnification is set to 2.0 (and the screen resolution is set properly), 10 point characters are displayed at 20 points; when the screen magnification is set to 0.5, 12 point characters are displayed at 6 points.
Use the Screen resolution (screen-res) option to set the resolution of the Equation Editor screen representation to correspond to the resolution of your workstation. For example, if the resolution of your workstation screen is 81 dpi, you would enter 81 as the value for screen resolution. If you do not know the resolution of your workstation's screen, ask your system administrator for details.
