Thanks Mike, for the posts and emails. I've managed to patch a few of the
figures using the pstoedit-->[.fig file]-->xfig-->[change linewidths,fonts]
-->[export to new image file format], it is an interesting program. I'll
have to weigh the pro's and cons before I decide what to do next, but I
appreciate all the help from you and others on this ng, thanks. In the
windows-IDL world, I'm wondering, are things this bad? Is there a good
vector graphics file format that IDL can readily export to? I can always
add routines to spit out a bitmap whenever I generate a postscrip figure,
but naturally, I would be even worse off than I am now (at least the ps IS
scalable).
