The problem is that Illustrator is not scriptable in this way, so converting 200 images once a month is too much work. But ImageMagick is doing much more than simple rasterization. When I convert to EPS I get a fully vector result... complete with splines and paths. Only the font glyphs have been rasterized, one bitmap per character. And the density flag has no effect: > convert -density 100 podmaps/map_1_p.ai map_1_p_100.eps > convert -density 600 podmaps/map_1_p.ai map_1_p_600eps > ls -la -rw-r--r-- 1 bryce users 10090 2007-02-15 09:13 map_1_p_600.eps -rw-r--r-- 1 bryce users 10090 2007-02-15 09:12 map_1_p_100.eps So the question remains: how can one control the font rasterization separately from the vector conversion to EPS. Or, where can I find another AI to EPS tool (and yes, I have tried pstoedit, which is unmaintained and broken). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/convert-is-bitmapping-my-fonts-during-PS--%3E-EPS-conversion-tf3232295.html#a8989693 Sent from the Magick-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
