Dear all
did you know pstoimg?
pstoimg -type png -aaliastext -crop a -density 150 file
I am often using this and the aaliastext stands for anti aliasing.
Results are fine.

David, and Sean:
I was the OP for the thread David quoted. Ghostscript will do a pretty good
job making a PNG from IDL postscript, but I agree with Sean that PICT generally
looks better, mostly the text is sharper (I used CorelDraw 8 to convert PS -->
PICT). As for the OP's question, I _think_ if you use device, font=0 in direct
graphics, you'll be using postscript fonts when you do SET_PLOT, 'PS'. However,
you can't warp postscript fonts, so things like shade_surf will look different.
I think PowerPoint would do better with TrueType fonts, though. When I posted
about this, people told me that newer versions of IDL for WinXX have a WMF
device (I use IDL 5.2 on Linux, so I've no experience here). It sounds like
you would want to use this device if you are working on WinXX, then I would
guess PowerPoint's display should be identical to what is viewed in IDL.
