Printing problems with E/L
Hi,
as I mentioned in a mail before my wife thinks about using executor to run a
cad program (By the way executor seems to be fast enough to do something
like that!).
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!

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 ;-)
