which OS?
This may be fine for drawing objects but it is a PITA when you are
compositing things into a final picture, eg: if masking or doing
rotated text. Then you really DO need something at the correct
resolution. Otherwise, you have to just guess at a decent resolution
or require the user to specify it.
OS/X correctly handles vector-based operations and even seems to do
the right thing with high-res bitmap pictures, which is why Apple
probably haven't bothered fixing the OS-level bug with the incorrect
reporting of resolution for some printers (from the last time I
explored this issue, the problem is an API-level problem in the OS,
not a RB problem).
