I tried output with cgControl using:
1) PS_FONT=0
2) PS_FONT=1
3) PS_TT_FONT='Times'
4) PS_TT_FONT='Helvetica'
All the same - all have the white lines.
Plot titles come out the same as using cgText, predictably.
But the tickmark labels are fine! If you use xtickname to give text to the tickmarks, they have NO white lines.
Is this a clue?
