Hi,

I am not sure if I understood the problem but I wonder how the true scale suits 
together with Web Mercator. I guess that you do not expect that the tiles of 
the same zoom level would use different styles at equator than in Canada or 
Finland even the true scale differs a lot.

We are displaying map images in Web Mercator, from a GeoServer with native CRS 
as BC-Albers (EPGS:3005).

We are using an OpenLayers client to display the map images.  We have confirmed 
that the geodetic scale displayed by OpenLayers is approximately the true scale 
of the map images (modulo the fact that OL uses a fixed resolution of 72 DPI).

Based on the zoom levels at which layers become visible, it appears that 
GeoServer's internal computed scale is from 2 to 4 times larger than the client 
scale.

Is this expected?

Is there any way to determine a way to map between client scale and Geoserver 
scale, so that we can configure the client to track GeoServer visibility 
faithfully?

Is there any way to display the internal GeoServer scale to make it possible to 
confirm if this analysis is correct?


GeoServer ver 2.6 (although I believe this is happening in 2.8 as well)
