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 text in WPG graphics is all graphics mode and does not really use the 
fonts in your printer. 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.
