Bug: ODT export formulas scale [8.0.5 (8.0.5-6-g426917-elpa @ /home/vincent/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130708/)]

[Vincent Liard]

When I export an org document with formulas to an ODT document (with
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng), the formulas look big and blurry.

In ox-odt.el, I found out that org-odt-pixels-per-inch (which is used to
set image sizes in ODT exports) takes its value from
display-pixels-per-inch (which is emacs-related if I get it right).

On my computer, org-odt-pixels-per-inch was set to 72 while
libreoffice considers images to be 96 dpi. A simple workaround is to
(setq org-odt-pixels-per-inch 96)

But I don't know if 96 is the correct value for everyone and should be
hardcoded or if the value should be taken from some configuration
file. Anyway, rude patch:

Thank you for org-mode which is great,

You're right -- patch applied (with minor modifications), thanks!
