Thanks for the link, I agree fully with the article. Our first MapInfo
version was 4.5 and it hasn't changed much in this respect untill now. The
layout window which can represent different parts of a wider map is a
wonderfull invention. However there are many graphical problems :
In thematics maps, the legends are never correctly aligned (I've had
trouble with our pre-press specialist). You have to accept centered layout
without option to align things left or right.
MapInfo doesn't offer any color management and when you have to convert
your maps in the CMYK world, this is a pain. I understand that color
management could be left for other imaging software. But MapInfo should at
least offer CMYK palettes or HFS palettes.

Objet : MI-L MapInfo's Map Quality Gets Panned in the News
Good grief! The general public is finding out what we've all known for
quite some time -- MapInfo's graphic quality hasn't improved much since
the days of MapInfo 3.0!

We don't want to get pegged as "cartoon cartographers," do we?
