This drawing looks fine when I look at it using Eye of Gnome document

line weights look off. When I make a pdf from that document, some of
the lines are so light they're almost invisible, and some are normal
weight. It's definitely not up to snuff for sending to a customer!
Am I screwed? Do I just need to export the thing as a bitmap? or is
there some setting I can try to make it render better?
Hi,
The lines in your document are really hair line: they are almost
invisible when opened in gsview. I've had a similar problem years ago
with my thesis, with all drawing done with one software. The line weight
was "hairline" and this was interpreted depending on the media: when
printed on the local printer, they were nice, but when the printed
version arrived, they were too thin, because professional printing uses
a better resolution. EOG is a bitmap software, so it probably uses a dpi
resolution based on the screen (~90dpi). You should check the eps with a
proper software (inkscape, any ghostcript viewer such as gv/ghostview/ggv).
Solution is to choose a real thickness for the line.
Best regards,
Olivier
