Do you the identical alignment as shown at http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples/? If you do get the same alignment as at the SourceForge examples, then you have achieved the GD "state of the art" at this time. I do agree the Hershey fonts are better aligned than TTF ones, but nobody has yet figured out how to improve the alignment of the TTF fonts. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
