[Gsview] font display question

[Jeffrey Karlsen]

Dear Mr. Cherepanov,
Thank you for your reply.  Yes, when scaled up they do look jaggy.  Is
there anything I can do when creating the PS file to prevent this and
allow AR to display the finished PDF file better?  I emphasize that I'm
very much a beginner in these matters.
-Jeff
