Why does Print Monitor spit out different PostScript than does the system when background printing is turned off? It seems that some DrawString()'s and all DrawChar()'s will be turned into "(My Text)show" while others--and all forground printed text--are printed with "<float> <float> <float> <float> <float>(My Text)awidthshow". In both cases there is an "<int> <int> gm" just ahead to position the pen. It also seems that when there is a space character in the string, Print Monitor preserves the "awidthshow". I guess it notices that I am using SpaceExtra() and tries to be faithful The problem is that I need to do fine positioning of the text. The "awidthshow" is doing what I want, but the gross "show" is not. Does anybody know a way to keep Print Monitor from doing this?
