Dear David & Reimar
Fool me, actually I did everything right, using Davids fsc_psconfig tool to
configuer the ps device, plotting everything to the ps file... But as David
said the output resolution is only as good as the output device supports.
Thanks for the answer, you helped me a lot.
By the way I am always surprised how David exactly knows what one is doing
wrong from the bit of information normally posted here and giving answers
were even I have the feeling that everything is so simple.
