Printing quality in 6.5

[Bob Sneidar]

You wouldn’t be warm to sending me the font for testing purposes if I promise to either buy it or delete it when I’m done?

Hey Bob,
The problem only seems to happen in the 6.5 IDE. In the 6.1.3 IDE it's fine. If I use the font in TextEdit it works fine. And it worked in a standalone made with 6.5. Go figure!

Sounds like Mavericks is using the bitmap and not the vector. Any chance you have some kind of font ID conflict?

It  happens to me only when I import images.

For what it's worth, this appears to be related to just this one aftermarket
font. I did try building a standalone in 6.5 and printed from that and it
seems to be fine, so it's this one font in the 6.5 IDE (and any PDFs I
create from there). Works fine everywhere else. How weird is that? We'll see
how it goes.

I just printed to PDF and enlarged it, looked good, printed the PDF not so
good. This was done on Mavericks. So I then transferred the PDF to a Snow
Leopard machine and it prints fine, so it appears to be a Mavericks issue.
The weird thing is that printing from LC 6.1.3 on Mavericks looks good.

Hi Marty,

Just done a test and found no problems printing text or high res images
on Mac OS X 10.8.5 to Epson R2000, I can't see any difference at all.

I also printed to PDF and compared enlarged PDFs, still no difference, in
fact at max enlargement in Preview the text is still crisp indicating that
LC printed the text as vector data not pixel data.

I just did a quick test print on my Mac of a stack with a couple of
fields with text in them. In LC 6.1.3 the text is nice and crisp but on 6.5
it's a bit pixelated - definitely lower quality. It looks like it's printing
it as a graphic. Haven't tried it on Windows but this is not good news for
me. Is anybody else seeing this?

I don't quite understand how that can have happened.

I thought that 6.1.3 was merged with 6.5.0; maybe not.

Richmond.
