I assume these are woody packages since I upgraded recently. I'll look for the source on freshmeat to a later version...
I changed type1_default=true... no joy. pdflatex looks the same and ps2pdf looks worse. Unfortunately, I'm behind a corp firewall and can't get to the news groups. (It can probably be done but I'm not one of the privledged.) Umm...dummy check here. I forgot to change from ccr. Changing to phv (\renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv}) shows good stuff! I'm on track now. Thanks for the help. jim > --------------------------------------------------------- > Andrew J.
