The printing is to an HP 5si postscript printer. The problem shows somewhat
differently with pdf writer. If I set the printer to 600 dpi the image is better but
the default is 300dpi. I can't rely on the users to always set the resolution. J2SE
1.4 should give me that control but I can't wait. Removing the stroke command helps a
lot. I don't need the command anyway, it was automatically added by Jasc software's
WebDraw. I may switch to Adobe Illustrator (or emacs) for svg creation.
I thought the odd thing was that adding the stroke command to just one text element
affected all the text and graphic elements including the rectangle.
Thanks for the reply.

You are not doing anything wrong. What happens is that the stroked
text is rasterized before being sent to the printer and that the
rasterization happens at a resolution that is not high enough.
What type of printer are you printing to (PostScript?).
In some printers (being on the move, I could only try with a
'virtual' printer, the Acrobat 4.0 PDF writer), you have options that
let you control image resolution and handling (e.g., compressed or
not) which are what you need to tweak to get the quality you want.
