A pixel is an absolute physical measurement that varies from 
display to display but is visually consistent, and twips are a 
relative measurement like point size.  (In fact, twenty twips 
are one point.)  When I was working on that early VB to Gambas 
conversion script, I simply multiplied the number of twips by 
10/144.... an oversimplified way of doing things perhaps (it 
assumes everyone's display is 100dpi), but it produced visually 
pleasing results.
