ugly .ps output

I tried to use the .ps output, but it's not so good as the .pdf one. It's the same thing under Windows XP or Ubuntu 7.10. Do you have any solutions ? François ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l

Hi - I'm now a re-newbie, sort of. I just took the plunge into Linux, from WinXP, and I've run into a difficulty. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a laptop. Using Synaptic, I was able to install LilyPond 2.10 (I don't remember the release number). I downloaded 2.12.2-1 from the LilyPond

It's been my understanding that most viewers and applications will render a .ps file by way of a low resolution bitmap 'preview', so as not to clog RAM while you're working on files. When you go to print or export the file, the .ps file is rendered at whatever resolution you specify in your doc

If you clarify what you mean by "ugly", it's easier to comment on your problems. Do you mean fussy-looking or do you mean that certain symbols are missing or replaced by something else? Also, what kind of applications do you use when viewing/printing the PS file. The Postscript output by LilyP
