I ran tests with Context pdftex and plain TeX using a 6 inch horizontal
rule and no other typography. They all came up about 3/64 inch short.
In the plain TeX sample I used dvips and printed from the PS file.
So it appears my printer shrinks a file by about 1% or thereabouts. My
customer's printer must do the same. It is not a Context problem nor an
Acrobat Reader problem.
