Does anyone know why text in WPG figures prints so poorly in WP5.1? I am trying to print WPG figures created by Accudraw on a postscript printer. It appears that WP5.1 is printing the characters in the figure by drawing them with vectors instead of telling the printer to directly print them. Is there an improved postscript driver which will help things out? Does WP for Windows fix the problem, or do the fonts still look poor (low res)?

The workaround solutions are 1) be sure your printer setting is set to print graphics in high resolution (Shift F7, Graphics quality) the second alternative which works well is to save your graphic as an EPS file. If you have Drawperfect it will do this readily ( Ctrl-F5) I think you can also do it with WP but I don't remember for certain. Then you can import the EPS file and when you print it out it will use the postscript fonts. You need a relatively recent version of Drawperfect for this to work correctly. --------------------------------------------------- Michael Benedik Department of Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences University of Houston INTERNET: Benedik@UH.EDU BITNET: Benedik@UHOU
