Subject: GV & XDVI - Image Quality To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Reply-To: rbm49@student.canterbury.ac.nz Message-id: <01JT8TUFPJ368WW7DU@its.canterbury.ac.nz> X-Mailer: MH 6.8.4 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.0 Release Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear M. You said the image quality was poor for GV and XDVI. I don't think you mentioned Ghostview. I'm not sure what could be up with XDVI, but for GV and Ghostview to display well one has to set ``antialiasing.'' In GV one goes to the menu and selects: ``State'' then ``Antialias'' The screen then refreshes and there you are! Trouble with ``Antialias'' is that it always takes longer to draw a screen. Personally, what I'd like to know is if it is possible to get a more recent port of Ghostview than 1.5. ``Antialias'' doesn't seem to be an option with 1.5. The existing port seems primitive compared to GV but is more convenient for printing a range of pages (the only reason I use it really).
