Joe,

What printer are you using? I'll see if I can reproduce the effect you are talking about.

Thanks!

In using the HPLIP package distributed by Ubuntu for 6.06 "Dapper"
(0.9.7-4ubuntu1), printing documents using Arial 12pt from
OpenOffice.org produces output 'jaggier' and with visible differences
in line thickness compared to Wordperfect 9 on Windows.

The result, while best studied with a magnifying glass, looks a bit
like TrueType rendering in general did on *NIX before font hinting
became fully supported.


I know this is a rather old version of HPLIP by now, and comparing OO.o
to WP9 is a bit apples-to-grapefruit, but does anyone know the exact
cause or mechanisms for improvement?  I haven't looked at the
PostScript OO.o is spitting out, so I'm not sure if the blame rests
there or further down the driver stack.


Note that certain branches of certain US state governments require the
use of Arial (or Univers, in my case) as a matter of law. :P

-Thanks,
