Hi there,
this might be a very (very very) stupid question,
but I'm using GhostScript 2.3 alpha and just printed
some color text onto an HP PaintJet.
The problem is, that the font I used is scaled to
a size of about 3 inches, and the result is not very
beautiful, i.e. it seems that a bitmap font is used
and simply becomes enlarged using linear interpolation.
I expected the big font to look exactly like the normal
sized, just bigger.
Did I make something wrong or is GhostScript just not able
to produce the proper output ?                       

Any help would be appreciated...
