### 5.8.2 Specifying equation size and DPI

Native FrameMaker export uses 72 DPI as a default for equations. This is much too small, and produces unreadable text for all equation sizes except the largest. The best DPI value varies; bigger is not always better. Generally, a value between 100 and 150 yields acceptable results. Equations need bigger values than other graphics.

To adjust the size and resolution of equations:

[Setup]

; EquationExportDPI = number (from 50 to 1200, default 120)

EquationExportDPI = 120

; EquationFrameExpand = percentage of original size (default 125)

EquationFrameExpand = 125

For best results, set EquationFrameExpand to a value about 4% greater than the value for EquationExportDPI.

To experiment with different values without converting the whole document over and over again, in the Mif2Go Export dialog choose the following:

• Write graphics for equations

• Write only graphics, no text.

See §3.7.4 Figuring out graphics export options.
