Object from SVG too big about jscut

[tbfleming]

Inkscape blindsided me with a silent change to their default px per inch. It's now 96 instead of 90. I'll change the default and update the help text.

0.48.5 (current release) is defaulting to 90 on new files but your file is 96. Did you ever touch this file with an Inkscape version greater than 0.48.5 (unreleased versions)? Did you install it from a source other than Inkscape.org? (may be patched). It looks like the default changed on the unreleased version tree (0.9x series) but not on the current releases.

Here's discussion on Inkscape's list: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Change-in-pixels-per-inch-td4970305.html

Mine is edited in both a 48.5 and something-something-devel. I tried converting formats and playing around with the files in both, but as the origin was from the dev version, I suppose the px/inch was just inherited.

I wonder as to why makercam does it right when set to 90px/inch, though. If you leave it at the default 72 px/inch things break, so it doesn't just ignore it all together and compute it based on the description of the absolute work-area size in the svg. Does it do something wrong, something magic, or something completely different? I wonder if there's anything worth looking into there.

As for now, I'll just work with 96px/inch (Old inkscape requires X11 on Mac - dev does not). I apologize for the inconvenience of having to find that info for me. My google-fu failed me.
