Those are hard questions to answer without an example of a program which looks
bad in PV-WAVE. However, I just did the following in IDL
; IDL Version 3.6.1a (vms alpha)
; Journal File for CARS3::RIVERS
; Working directory: USER_DISK:[RIVERS.COMMITTEES]
; Date: Wed Mar 1 17:21:00 1995
y = 1. + findgen(1000)
x = 1000 * y
set_plot, 'ps'
device, xsize=10, ysize=7, /inch, /land
!p.font=0
plot_io, x, y
device, /close
$print idl.ps
With this example, the X axis exponents do not touch the X axis, although they
are close. Note that this was done with the default Postscript hardware font
and font size (!p.font=0).
