I don't know much about Powerpoint but my suspicion is that it is a vector 
based package whereas GIMP is bitmap based. Images and text will look fine in 
Powerpoint regardless of zoom factor. Once you export data from Powerpoint to 
a png, or jpg, you now have a bitmap representation of the original. How good 
that looks will depend on the size and resolution of the image you created at 
the time you exported from Powerpoint.

When sending messages to a mailing list it is always best to provide a URL 
where the file can be downloaded rather than attaching it to the message. 
Attaching files to a message being sent to a list is likely to get the message 
flagged as possibly containing a virus.

[Gimp-user] images (text and arrows ) by powerpoint displayed zig-zag on screen using gimp

2007-06-05 Thread Suin Edit
Hello:

This problem brothers me a long time.

I use powerpoint generate a presentation and add some
arrows (outlined) and text on it.  But when I use
powerpoint save as png, or jpg and view it on
Microsoft Office Picture manage and zoom in/out, all
characters 
and arrows displayed smoothly. 

But when I use gimp to view the image, the texts and
arrows are not smoothly anymore (zig-zag) .  

Is the reason from gimp or the image itself?  Can
anyone tell the reasons and how to solve it?


I attached my file but I found the mail cannnot be
sent.


Thanks.

S. Du
