Thank you Paul, Donna and Rich.
I was not making myself clear. Thanks to you all I now understand why the
jaggies. Now here's a clarification to my next question.
I have many Corel images and had been pulling them as EPS into WordPerfect
and printing them to various postscript printers and to an HP Laserjet II
using Freedom-of-Press. I have seen how stunningly well done TrueType
fonts are, and how quickly they print… So what I want is a way to combine
Corel Graphics with TrueType text
in Microsoft Word documents. (You know, just like Corel's ad
says…"CorelDRAW & Microsoft [Word], the perfect partners) HOWEVER, I
just reminded myself why I used Encapsulated Postscript as the export
format for Corel. I took some SIMPLE graphics and tried importing them in
CGM and WMF format into W4W. CGM converted meaningful triangular pointy
corners of some of my graphic into meaningless smoothed corners while WMF
dropped 2/3 of the text that had been painstakingly positioned on the
graphic. Uugh.
QUESTION:
What is the best way to get CorelDRAW graphics printing to a Windows
printer using TrueType in Word and (maybe w/3.0 Corel) TrueType in the
Corel Graphic with the same quality that one would get from an EPS graphic
export?
PS: Using Windows to build Postscript Bit Maps of TrueType fonts doesn't
give you nearly the same quality of output as straight TrueType. Take a
look at anything underlined, one printed directly from Word onto an HP
LaserJet II and one printed to any Postscript printer with the Advanced
Windows Printer Driver option of True-Type to Postscript Bit-map.
Thanks for your help.
