Z-buffer font quality [message #14883]

Hi,

I am trying to generate plots with high-quality fonts using the
Z-buffer. TrueType fonts of the size I would usually use for titles
come out chunky and less readable than hardware fonts. David Fanning
has recently claimed success with this; what am I doing wrong?

Simplified code follows:

set_plot, 'Z' ; open gif
!p.font = 1 ; set font

plot, indgen(5), title = 'Main Plot Title', $
xtitle = 'X-Axis Title', ytitle = 'Y-Axis Title', $
color = 0, background = 255
xyouts, 0.5, 3, 'Annotation', color=0, size=2

image = tvrd() ; capture plot from Z-buffer
set_plot, 'X' & window, 0 & tv, image ; display image
