- It's been a long time since I looked into this, but I believe the reason
- that ProPage appeared to render CG fonts better than PageStream was
- because it assumed the screen had a 1:1 aspect ratio. Most NTSC Amiga
- computers are used in a 65x55 dpi mode. PageStream and ProPage are both
- using the same Agfa code to render the CG fonts. (That's not entirely
- true. PageStream3 is using a newer version than ProPage, but there are
- no quality differences between the versions.) Therefore, the output
- should be identical with all factors being equal. The only factor that
- is not equal is the screen dpi values used. I think ProPage used either
- 65x65 or 72x72.
-
- If you adjusted PageStream3 to match ProPage (using Settings/Screen),
- I believe the screen output is virtually identical. I believe I did a
- test of this back in 94.
