I think this is artifact results from a combination of the ghostscript distiller and the postscript renderer. If you have xpdf on your system, you can set ps.usedistiller : xpdf in rc. That will give you embeddable eps files without converting the fonts to outlines (or whatever ghostscript does), so they scale nicely. As a bonus, if you put the figure in a pdf, the figure text will be searchable. Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
