Well, possibly an opportunity was missed. But maybe not. My guess is that 97%+ of commercial printers use MACs for prepress, with everything interpretted via Adobe PostScript.
Getting a graphic created on windoze to print OK can be full of surprises. I wonder if a FOSS graphic would fare any better. Anyone having much joy with Inkscape, or Scribus (or any other layout program)? Incidentally, the globe in 'my' SFD poster really pushed my system to the limit. I initially thought it would be easy to PDF it, but it must have had some tricky gradients (too many vectors?) and I had to compromise and simplify it in the end. As I said before, if I could have FOSSed it, I would have. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rik Tindall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Whether the ad was laid up by Alan _or_ The Press, non-free software would have been used to do it - no actual difference, therefore.
