That isn't what I want: I want to have a fixed magnification and have
the window shrink (or grow) to fit the document at that magnification.

Perhaps I'm superstitious, but documents don't seem to scale well to
random magnifications.  They are more readable at simple rational
magnifications.

My *guess* is that this would be quite easy to implement.

That too is interesting but I imagine that it is not as easy to
implement.

Thanks.
