You don't need an intermediate file, have a look at the "gs" options. > The problem is that GS is pixelating the FONT's in the PDF created. > It prints okay, just looks horrible. Make sure you are running the latest version of AFPL GhostScript. You may need to send someone money to do this. Only use Type 1 or TrueType fonts, make sure GhostScript can find them. Embed those fonts in the output PDF. For example: gs -q -dNOPAUSE -d BATCH -dSAFER \ -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 \ -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -sOutputFile=- -c .setpdfwrite - \ < inputfile.ps > outputfile.pdf Make sure that GhostScript can find all the fonts you use. You may need to say -sNOPLATFONTS and -I/usr/local/fonts. Put a Fontmap in the /usr/local/fonts directory using ttfontmap. Double byte fonts still end up as bitmaps. The "-r" parameter can change the resolution of these. -- Glen Turner Network Engineer (08) 8303 3936 Australian Academic and Research Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aarnet.edu.au/ -- The revolution will not be televised, it will be digitised -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
