Hi Ralph,

I have tried with the mupdf on my system (v1.5) and and I press `f` and `p`, 
and either `H` or `W` and there is a grey border on all sides but all the 
slide is shown, does not alter whether fitted to height or width.

So I compiled the latest released version (v1.12) and this produced a mupdf-gl 
and mupdf-x11. The gl version showed the grey borders still, but the x11 
filled the entire screen and no movement when the H and V keys are pressed. 
When in presentation mode mupdf seems to support the Blinds and Wipe 
transitions but uses a fade for all the others.

If you have it, evince pdf reader, seems to have most support for presentation 
mode that I have found.

Cheers 

Deri

PS I did try setting the papersize in points (448p,252p), but the grey border 
still appeared, and it was hard to notice a difference.
