I've been playing around with the fonts supplied with NeWS 1.1 and seem to be having rather a problem with Times-Roman. Scaling it to 20 (pixels) and then using it to show a small piece of text seems to print out quite a lot of rubbish. Almost as if some other text were being printed first, and then only partially erased by the "real" text. I know NeWS is generally held to be a touch flakey in the area of font scaling, rotation etc. Am I seeing an example of this, or could there be some other explanation ? (corrupt fonts ? something worse ?) Andy Andrew Dwelly E.C.R.C.

The funny thing is, the same code works great on the 4/110. Instead of roating an entire line of text, the sun 3/50 rotates only single characters, making them look like they are dancing. Anyone else noticed this problem? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew S.
