I have a 1 meg A500 and an HP Laserjet IIP. Unfortunately, the quality of the text that I am able to print is terrible. What looks decent on 24 pin fades on a laser. Even Pro Page leaves much to be desired. (Not enough memory for extended use of CG fonts) Is there a solution to this problem until I get more printer and CPU RAM? Most every font that I have downloaded suffers from being either non-proportional or very jaggy looking at final output.

Try turning on "Smoothing" — either in Preferences or in the PPage output dialogue box, I don't remember. But PLEASE get more RAM! I use PPage on a HP LaserJet IIP and it looks GREAT!

Well, what fonts are you using? Workbench fonts and Zuma fonts look bad to me. I agree that CG fonts look great and the ultimate solution is more RAM, but until my 4meg Baseboard arrives, I'm stuck.

Yes – get PageStream. It's a much better general solution/ Ben Amateur Radio Callsign is A A 7 A S
