Logo test @ 300dpi. Notice pixels at heavy zoom. Edit (70.5 KiB, application/postscript)

I am only using the inkscape.logo.svg file, and just putting some simple text, and then printing to a ps file. Very similar to my previous attachments. When I zoom in using GSView I see nice crisp text, but a not so crisp logo. At fit page to screen, you can see tiny irregularities, but if you zoom right in there are clear pixels (see attached). Perhaps Ulf's comment about the test stuff will help clarify.

>Did you define WIN_PRINT_TEST to use Adrian's test code? (look in print.cpp) You will get two printer dialogs. The second one matters. For me this produces clean vectors.

Ah, hadn't noticed that was commented out in print.cpp. I thought you getting two print dialogs was a mistake with the second last version of the patch and was glad I hadn't finished building it before I saw the latest patch and your comment about two dialogs - I'm currently building with WIN_PRINT_TEST =1 uncommented. Cheers.

Adib: Thanks for the clarification on blur. I'm sure we all understand fully about the office, and the kids, and ..., and... ATM it seems blur is there in ps, but from my one test the alignment is a little off. I'm looking forward to this.
