I have experienced problems with character alignment on the LaserWriter II
at work. The discrepancy shows up best when an 80x25 block of white-on-black
chars (an IBM PC screen dump of reverse-video chars) is printed. I get
blank lines (one LaserWriter-pixel wide) appearing as ugly white streaks; both
vertical and, more often, horizontal.
I set about to fix the problem, since the printouts involved are destined for
publication, and after intense sessions of swearing and hair-pulling, I heard
a rumor that some or all PostScript interpreters have a numerical rounding
error in them. I also heard that there is a relatively simple fix.
Could someone please enlighten me? Please send your replies to this newsgroup.
