Hello,
 
I have an application that can make a beautiful descendant chart of
parents, grandparents, etc. up to 4 generations
This gives a nice chart when sent to a HP LaserJet 4L which is set to
HGPL options using a PCL5 escape sequence.
It can also make a plot file in plain ascii.
I would like to use either convert or hp2xx from ImageMagick to convert
the file to a jpg or gif image.
But that does not work, the lines are perfect but text is not.
The characters are far too big.
For each part of the chart where a name or date is plotted, the
character size is calculated to fit the text between the lines.
 
I use this command : hp2xx waaier.plt gif:waaier.gif which does open the
image screen (it can be printed too!).
The response copied from a Windows cmd window:

Do you have any idea what is going wrong?
