The font size of final pdf depends on display scaling (win10)

[mst128256]

VSCode 1.9.1
markdown-pdf 0.1.6
platform: win10, OS X

I observe too small font in pdf generated on machine with HighDPI display. It would be fine to have some display- and system-independent settings for font size.

How to repoduce (win10)

1. take arbitrary non-empty .md document
2. in Preferences/System change magnification ration ("Change the size of text, apps, and other items")
3. generate pdf in VSCode
4. repeat 2-3 for different settings
5. compare pdfs

Any update on this?

No idea for any other way to change font size of the generated PDF.

I believe this should be marked as bug since it does not allow us to use the extension.

A sample output Lorem Markdownum.pdf

Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.540)
Visual Studio Code 1.15.0 x64
Markdown PDF 0.1.7

I'm also facing this issue, on Windows. The body text comes out with a font size of about 9-10, which is really to small to read.

I pre-released Markdown PDF ver1.0.0 which replaced pdf converter with puppeteer instead of html-pdf.
Please download from here and try.
Try using the markdown-pdf.scale option.
