[Gsview] font display question

[Alex Cherepanov]

Dear Mr. Karlsen,

Most likely your PS file uses raster fonts. Acrobat Reader does
poor job rendering raster fonts. Please scale the document up
in AR and check whether the text looks jaggy. You can also check
if the original file has raster fonts by rendering it in GS at
higher resolution, for instance 600 dpi.

Regards,
Alex Cherepanov
