> JT Humm, a .svg? that should allow full resolution at any size. So this might need going clear back to the original artwork if it still exists after all these years. The text I am seeing is extremely "blocky", like some of the original ghostscript fonts from 30 years ago when we had to build our own GS. Thought: The drawings are just a hair fuzzy but perfectly usable. And it would likely be a PITA to blank the existing text and re-add it using a modern font. Maybe I can play around in inkscape and actually learn how to run it? But not today. I need a corn knife to get around in the back yard. > On 6/14/2014 5:16 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > In the integrators manual, under parport, there are several drawings > > depicting the various options available on the various pins of the > > std parport. > > > > I note that in printing that manual, or in viewing it online on the > > linxcnc.org site, that this drawing has been compressed to the point > > that the pin assignment text is unreadable even on hidef screens or > > printers that do 600dpi or more. > > > > Would it be possible to go back to the original artwork and make new > > parport drawings for both the manual and the web server that are > > sharp enough to be read with no ambiguity? > > > > Thanks. > > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk > Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems > Open Source.
