Hi, I have some questions about the PostScript rendering
option "stroke adjust":

1) why isn't stroke adjust always set to true? seems like
a good idea to me to have uniform line thickness.

2) what would happen if my output always sets stroke adjust
to true? Is it a bad idea? (I'm using PostScript Level 2)


Thank you very much.

The manual says that it isn't the default because it could change the
behaviour of existing (level 1) printout, getting differerent results.
On the other hand, it isn't necessarily not the default.

Sounds a good thing. If you're embedding EPS files, I think there are
special rules about switching it off. If I remember rightly.
