I think the attempt to make a physical ruler match a screen ruler, while
laudable in theory, is not good (for me, at least) in practice.  I don't like
putting my nose as close to a CRT as I do to a piece of paper. [In particular,
paper doesn't usually 'crackle' at me when my nose gets too close].  I am
using a 19" monitor with default (640 x 480) resolution.  It is only 50 dpi,
but I can sit back a comfortable distance and read the text.  I expect that
my preference is shared by many individuals over the age of 40.
