And if you zoom in on the text you can see the black text is covered in white lines that make it appear gray when zoomed out. I figured it was something with the ImageMagick not going right, but maybe not?

So I have produced text with each of my two machines.
They are both Macs and were both identically created with the following code:
cgwindow, wxsize=350,wysize=150,'cgtext',0.5,0.5, 'This text looks funny.',charsize=4.0, alignment=0.5
cgcontrol, output='~/Desktop/funny.pdf'
Here is the one that looks funny - created after updating IM, GS and CG:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w5qo4qqta75tgcl/funny.pdf?dl=0
Here is the one from another computer which was not recently updated. This is how all my text used to look before updating the other day:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3oucoag7uvegj4p/not_funny.pdf?dl=0
The funny one looks the same whether I open the .pdf in Preview, Adobe, GSViewer or what have you. The difference is more apparent when you zoom way in on one letter or two. See those white lines?
Any ideas?
