+ Antialiasing can improve the display of bitmapped fonts (eg. from
+ TeX) when displayed on a colour or greyscale screen. The same
+ technique is used by dvips
.
+
+
+ Antialiasing can be turned on with options menu + (File|Options ...), + and can be made default by selecting Save. + It is not on by default because it's slower. + +
+ + There are two methods used to save the contents of the window when + it's not currently displayed: backing store or backing pixmap. + Some X-servers seem to support only backing store (eg. VAXstations) + and some only backing pixmap (eg. some X-terminals, including EWS). + +
+ On VMS, the default may be changed by creating a file
+ called GV.DAT
with the following line
+ (or, if the file already exists, add the line)
+
+
+ GV*Ghostview.UseBackingPixmap: False ++ + This file should be placed in your home directory (ie. where + you find yourself immediately after logging in) unless you have + redefined the logical name
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
, in which case it
+ should go in the directory specified by this logical name.
+
+
+ UseBackingPixmap
is true
by default
+ (so as to work on X-terminals), so should be defined
+ as false
if, eg., a VAXstation display is used.
+
+
+ On Unix, the definition should go in ~/.gv
.
+
+
+
+ This occurs on EWS X-terminals, which do not implement bitmap/pixmap
+ displaying properly. On VMS, to fix this you need to create a file
+ called GHOSTSCRIPT.DAT
with the following line
+
+
+ Ghostscript*useXPutImage: false ++ + Again, this file should be placed in your home directory (i.e. where + you find yourself immediately after logging in) unless you have + redefined the logical name
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
, in which case it
+ should go in the directory specified by this logical name.
+
+
+ On Unix, put the above line into a file called ~/Ghostscript
.
