Yes, it wouldn't surprise me if it was faster to use
the PS_START/PS_END with Direct Graphics approach and
just display the resulting PNG file produced from
ImageMagick than it would be to draw all those objects!

P.S. I notice R, which is similar in a *lot* of ways to
IDL, doesn't have any problem with nice looking fonts in
its plots. :-)
