Re: [Groff] Using pic/groff/gs to produce gif/jpeg

[David Griffiths]

Hi, yes, that seems to work well (once I'd downloaded the groff-1.19.1 
version of pic2graph, the one that comes with cygwin is buggy). Just one 
thing: it (ie convert) antialiases everything including the solid lines. 
If I turn off antialiasing it turns it off for the text too. Any 
suggestions? Not that bothered as it actually looks quite good with 
antialiased lines.

Thanks,

Dave
