How do you mean fix this? The postscript doesn't have the problem,
there's nothing wrong with it.

The problem is that when you want to create an image (bitmap) for quick
viewing or for sharing on a web page you get the white line effect when
using anti-aliasing. So you have a choice when making an image using
ImageMagick convert from a postscript file:

a) you have the white lines and the fonts and lines are smoothed.
b) you have no white lines and the fonts and lines look stepped
aka 'the jaggies'

You can increase the density of the output picture and this reduces the
look of the stepped effect in the fonts and lines:
convert -density 300 +antialias idl.ps idl.png

Cheers
Andy
