I've got a question about how PageStream 2.2 behaves on the display
produced by my GVP EGS Spectrum 28/24 card. I'm sending a similar message
to Soft-Logik tech support as well.
I've got a simple PageStream document — a sign I made for my wife which
just says "No Whining!" with an international "forbidden" symbol stamped
over the word "Whine". I made the symbol by superimposing a white circle
on top of a red one, placing the word "Whine" on top of them and then
superimposing a red stripe over the whole thing. I then grouped all these
objects.
When this object is displayed on the Workbench screen produced by my
Spectrum board, strange things happen when resolution exceeds 640×480. At
resolutions higher than standard VGA, the objects do not render properly
on the screen. The red stripe and red circle are rendered as a red square
whose diagonal measurement is equal to the length of the stripe (which
diagonally bisects the circles). At resolutions of 640×480 and lower,
everything looks fine. The documents prints properly, also.
I've also found that at higher than VGA resolutions the cursor indicators
in the rulers do not always show up.
Any suggestions for what to do here (other than use VGA or lower
resolution — I've already identified that as one alternative)? Thanks
for your help.
