Re: Even 1200-dpi printer not good enough for testing spacing & kerning at text size. What do you do?
Yes, I was not meaning to cast any aspersions on non-design apps. Basically it is just that some apps that are savvy enough to inject their own added stuff into the PostScript stream or otherwise byp…2 -
Re: Where do you put the circumflex in /hcircumflex, and caron in /kcaron?

I use a Xerox VersaLink C500 with true PostScript 3 and I find it excellent for testing.2 -
Re: Even 1200-dpi printer not good enough for testing spacing & kerning at text size. What do you do?
To get really nerdy, you can even use sizecalc.com to calculate the printing size and distance. It tells us that 12 point type at 20 inches away is about .48 degrees of vision. Keeping that .48 degre…4
