Here I attach two samples scanned from paper. Details below. My question is simply: am I the only person with this problem? Others would be, Is lilypond generating wrong PDFs? Is my printer wrong? Is ubuntu gutsy evince wrongly printing PDFs?
Details: laserjet-png.png comes from a PNG generated by LilyPond with the --png -dresolution=600 commandline options. laserjet-pdf.png comes from a PDF generated by LilyPond. Both images are printed on a laserjet P2015dn at the default resolution (FastRes). This is 600dpi I think. Then I scanned the printed papers at 300 dpi. Clearly the PDF has a barline MUCH thicker than the PNG and it's not a matter of resolution (other vertical lines look fine). Wider views are available in: http://www.paconet.org/laserjet-png.png http://www.paconet.org/laserjet-pdf.png Thank you. My workaround these days is to generate and print only PNGs, but windows users also report this problem in other systems and printers. 2007/11/19, Paco Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > El Sun, 18 de Nov de 2007, a las 10:50:47PM +0100, Mats Bengtsson dijo: > > Paco Vila wrote: > > > >> In 2.11.34, I've found that default barline thickness is a bit too thick, > >> even printed at 1200 dpi. > >> > >> Where is this default set?
