Thanks for the suggestion, (which I guess was passed along from Joe Strout
originally) - of double buffering the stringshape so it doesn't print all black. It works! So thats good. However, its super pixelatted - with giant pebble pixels.

Well, that's to be expected if you generate your pixel map at 72 dpi. Make a bigger picture, draw a bigger string, and then scale your picture down when you draw it.

 I hope they will fix that in the future so it looks a bit more
professional.

You can make it look professional either way. But I hope they fix it so such work-arounds aren't needed. Using the QuickDraw print architecture, there was no easy way to avoid it, but my understanding is that under OS X, printing can now go directly through Quartz. So I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to print a string at any rotation, just as a string.

Best,
- Joe
