Hello,
I installed a teTeX distribution on my partner's SPARC last might,
and it went Ok, except we could not find a decent mode to view
the sample files in.
On my SPARC Console, at 1152x900, I just used "pcscreen" mode and the
lettering looks fine, with no loss of sharpness or delineation.
On his machine though, he has to connect and display via a DOS PC Xserver,
at 1024x768. The monitor is "not the best" quality, and the trueness
of the fonts is not anywhere near as good as on mine using pcscreen
mode either.
We tried all the available modes for monitors (not printers) ranging
from 76 to 118 dpi and could not get a nice image.
Letters like "t" were not displayed properly for example.
What I want to know is, does anyone have any modes suitable for lower
end SVGA monitors to compensate for the poor display?
we are using teTeX:
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
on a SPARC IPC.
Better yet, how about someone donate us a graphics console with a nice
trintron monitor, type4 keyboard and mouse, so he does not snatch mine all
the time? ;)
thanks
rachel
