- 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 ;-)
