More on Windows printing...

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Just a theoretical question, because I understand the delay in taking
this approach would probably make it impractical - would it be possible
to do the following:

1) open a magnified clone of a stack to like 10 times its width, and 10
times its height, with all the components, characters, etc., also
enlarged and kept perfectly proportional 

2) make sure the enlarged version of the stack is opened out of the
screen viewing area

3) take a snapshot of that enlarged stack

4) then print that stack, with a 10 to 1 reduction in print proportion

That would result in fairly high resolution - but I am not sure that a
screen version of a font, even enlarged to give it more pixels for
higher definition, would actually look as good as a printed version of a
font.

Often, the stack is opened 'off screen' and the user never even sees it 
while it's being printed. This is a great way to add resolution to 
images while printing.
