Hello Allen! I am wondering wether one of URLs below point to that viewer. Pls check, may be you will see something familiar... http://www.google.com/search?q=PostScript%20viewer%20with%20high-quality%20filtering&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 http://www.google.com/search?q=RGB%20printing%20fonts&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 BTW: has someone any experience with printing fonts as RGB images? I guess this can give very good results, especially on printers with Continius Tone support I I have had some expereince with Xerox Docuprint NC60 printer, it had *excellent printing quality*! But hey, this was in 1999, and I don't have access to this printer anymore; note: NC60 has Contone support, modern color laser printers from Xerox support Contone, too. | | Allen | _______________________________________________ | Render mailing list | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render Cheers, -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/ _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
