Thank you to all who responded to my Problem. It didn't appear to be a plotter or printing problem. Especial to Jacques Paris who hit the nail on the head see below: steven, I have read so many horror stories on the subject that I made a small test that convinced me not to use custom bitmap symbols. Very simple, I send a A4 map to a file for a HP2500, then added some symbols and produced another file. I had reduced your symbol to a 64x64 pixel size. I used a 9 point size. The results are horrifying : 400kb per symbol. Forget it, not for me. Have you considered using rather true type symbols? The small investment they require is well recouped at their first use. Jacques Paris [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am in the process of creating some true type fonts for transport symbols and the tests I've done create very small print files and work very well. Although creating all the fonts is rather a time consuming process. Has anyone by any chance created any Australian traffic symbols to true type fonts? thanks again cheers Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
