[9fans] troff eqn problem, misalignement of big brackets (at least in p9p)

Hello, I typeset my documents with cat $stem.ms 9 pic| 9 tbl| 9 eqn|9 troff -ms|9 tr2post |9 psfonts >$stem.ps and I encountered a strange problem. Although on screen, in gv, everything is fine, when printed, some of my big brackets---which are made up from several parts---, produced, e.g., with '

Well, at least it seems I found some (temporary?) work-around... If I convert resulting ps to pdf with ps2pdf, the printed pdf is ok. But, anyway, if you could please comment... Thanks Ruda On 16 March 2011 12:37, Rudolf Sykora wrote: > Hello, > > I typeset my documents with > cat $stem.ms 9 pic

It is not just a font problem as discussed heavily leading up to 5eIWP9 (see use of sqrt). Eqn needs to be revisited and modernize to support output to resolutions > 100-300 DPI. Until then, brackets, sqrt, and many other elements that make TeX output nice and clean will remain problematic wit

> It is not just a font problem Well, I feel there are 2 separate things. 1) Eqn's output is usually typographically worse than TeX's. There are definitely reasons for this, mainly eqn's simplicity. This is not what bothers me now. 2) The very problem that I face. I produce .ps, it seems ok on scr

I assume the problem is to do with the fonts your printer has, and the act of converting the ps to a pdf adds the fonts necessary. I reckon the best way to check what is responsible for poor typsetting is to try running troff's output through proof(1). It is not necessarly the nice-est looking re
