As the above poster states, this is available in Snow Leopard's Preview. Guess what...it's been there since at least OS X 10.0, if not the public beta!
Not new at all, but still a good hint.
As usual, users judging what hints are good and what hints are bad is totally inappropriate. If a hint is inaccurate, it's for us the users to discuss, clarify and correct the info, not to bash the moderator for allowing the hint. In this case, it's been clarified, and now people who didn't know about this since 10.0 are aware, thanks to an inaccurate but useful hint. Edited on Aug 05, '11 03:31:16AM by robogobo

It really isn't important if the hint is technically wrong. The fact is resolution independence is coming to the Mac. The Mac now draws in points not pixels.

Absolutely not. Lion has actually taken a big step BACK from resolution independence. If you install the Dev Tools, you can scale the UI, this has been possible since 10.4. And Apple has improved this experimental function up until Snow Leopard, where even the three traffic light buttons were vector images and thus resolution independent. Now with Lion, they are bitmaps again. An awful LOT of stuff is now bitmaps again, just look through the /System folder. Stuff that could/should be drawn using Quartz is just images. I was really disappointed when I saw this. ---
this is not the sig you`re looking for.

I agree that users complaining about "bad hint" is inappropriate, as it has been the stated goal of the site to provide hints for all levels of expertise. But this was not even a hint at all. It was speculation about resolution independence making its way into OS X. The examples given for this hypothesis were totally wrong. They have nothing to do with resolution independence; they have to do with printing. They are there to take WYSIWYG to the next level. Instead of just showing you fonts on screen as they will appear printed, you can shape the layout of the document on screen to match your printed output. This is a feature set generally only available to high-end desktop publishing, and it's probably a holdover from NeXTStep's Preview and TextEdit, showing off what that OS could do with Display Postscript. |
