Thanks Carlos, I'll look at that (Ps2pdf.htm).
Welcome.
Most of the ugliness I run into seems to occur when I'm creating a pdf from a web page viewed in konq. (I assume they are using fonts not on my system).
Ah. I noticed the otherday that a pdf produced directly from inside OpenOffice was worse than the one made by ps2pdf. As for converting html files, there is also an "html2ps" program :-)
Otherwise, you could try Mozilla for that same page, I fancy it would produce beter output (.ps).
Anything created on my system appears fine on my system. Also I'm usually quite happy just printing to a postscript file instead of pdf. But I'm still trying to learn what works most consistantly.
Well, the pdf file is way smaller, usually, and more portable: I mean, it is seen equally well by windows users and others. You can not do the same as easily with postscript (I know there is ghostscript in windows, at least)
Sounds like your suggestion may be a good solution for creating pdf's on the occasions I need them.
It is handy, yes. It is just a script calling gs.
Thanks Again Carlos, I'll try your suggestions next time I get a chance. See Ya -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
