Think of how that would affect a simple shape such as a circle. You would either get a blurred image (interpolation) or discontinuities in the image (nearest-neighbour). Of course, this is all fine if the image is a vector one rather than raster. How much burden can a UA take? After all, it would have to do some form of conversion on the image to scale it. For interpolation, the UA would have to convert to 16 or 24 bit to scale properly. Designers would resort to setting everything to a form of "fixed" so that their images are not completely ruined by the UA. Benjamin
