this sounds quite interesting - yet a few questions or objections may arise - the actual acrobat reader version on windows is 9.1.2 - how did you convert from pdf to png (is it a snapshot, a conversion with another tool, something else?) - what does it mean to have a scaling of 25% with gv against 58.6% with acroread - shouldn't both come up with the same size when they have the same scaling? (to me they both look the same size with different scaling) - how does it compare on printed output? - could you make the pdf or lilypond code public, so we could compare with our own pdf viewers? on windows there are many more of them - also free! thanks for initiating this discussion! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/good-rendering-of-PDF-tp24302607p24304823.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
