Hi Andrew: You are right, the issue disappears (the characters are sharp [but not antialiased] and the box lines are restored) for the second and subsequent pages if you run c/x09c -dev png -o test.png -fam -drvopt smooth=0 for the installed examples or set up the appropriate environment variables so you can run that example from the build tree (following what is done in tests/CMakeLists.txt for ctest). I don't see what the smooth=1 option has to do with (a) box lines, (b) strong character blurring if it is a tick mark numerical label, but not if it is an axis label, and (c) both symptoms not occurring for the first page! These are very strange symptoms indeed associated with smooth=1, and I hope you can confirm the bug on your MinGW platform and figure out what the problem is. Of course, it may be a memory management issue which might remain "silent" on MinGW, but different results on different platforms would be interesting in their own right.
