I am on Fedora 12, and use the print menu of my evince tool to print out the file.

(Plus for the png I used 600 dpi) # ps backend params ps.papersize : auto # auto, letter, legal, ledger, A0-A10, B0-B10 ps.usedistiller : xpdf # can be: None, ghostscript or xpdf ps.distiller.res : 6000 # dpi ps.fonttype : 42 # Output Type 3 (Type3) or Type 42 (TrueType) # pdf backend params pdf.compression : 0 # integer from 0 to 9 pdf.fonttype : 42 # Output Type 3 (Type3) or Type 42 (TrueType) PNG with high resolution produces the nicest looking plot. PDF follows it. However EPS file still looks ugly. What are your font suggestions? An any ideas why ps.distiller.res has no effect on the produced plot? Could somebody reproduce the similar results?
