Yesterday I checked the printing capabilities. Here are the results :-( - there is no color - rotated text is not rotated in the printing - areas filled with a color (e.g. white) will not be filled in the printout. The things located under the area become visible. - there are NaN's in the generated postscript. The postscript generation process seems to have problems with some calculations (I stripped the lines containing the NaN's and got some output in ghostview) - There is another error in the generated Postscript code: there are many lines saying 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 rectclip which means the clipregion has no size. Therefore no drawing is visible If I change the zeros to some `reasonable' values some of the lost elements become visible. - (Umlauts are not printed - this problem is known. But I would like to say that it is neccessay for us to have umlauts!) What are the plans of ardi in respect to printing? I hope you will manage to eliminate all these problems! It would be too bad if executor would not be usable for real world problems because of such problems! connection reset by Peer P.S I did not get any response to my last mail concerning the problems with RagTime, Excel and Word. Did you receive my mail? Or am I simply too impatient ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.Inform.
