The quality of the letters of the graph depends to some degree on
which font you use. The default "simplex roman" font is truly not
that great to look at, but the "complex roman" font is much better.

Another option is to use truetype or device fonts. Both of these will
work on the screen and can be captured to GIF format.

Good luck,
Craig
