Look at example 26 pages 1 and 2 with any of the qt devices. (I just did that for bmpqt, pngqt, epsqt, pdfqt, svgqt, and qtwidget to exercise all the different code paths within the qt device driver.) The text spacing was all messed up in the legend for the prior version (especially for page 2 with its utf8 legend annotation), but now the spacing is done correctly just as for all the cairo devices. This is an important refinement for the qt devices which brings them back into a virtual tie with the cairo devices as our highest quality devices. Thanks! Alan __________________________ Alan W.
