It wobbled before, too, but it was harder to see as I was using a 10-point font. Now the font's nicer and bigger, so the wobble is a bit more visible. This fix won't come soon, as it both falls into the "optional" GSoC part and also because it's a bit devilish. As you may see on tech@, the immediate focus right now is finishing `Bk' and pushing out this release that has nice -Tps (and block-breaking, and `Bk'-ing, and SYNOPSIS prettying, and so much more). Note that I'm always looking for PS gurus to make sure my PostScript isn't going to make any printers barf! So if you know any in FreeBSD, please send them my way. Thusfar gv, gs, and ps2pdf don't complain, nor do the printers I spam in my office. Thanks, Kristaps -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
