Hi,
I printed metafun-p.pdf using Preview.app on an HP Laserjet 4100 dtn
(black and white) and noticed that beginning from page 37 (physical
page number 41) of that document the output is fuzzy.
Also I noticed that it takes a much longer time to print the pages 37
onward (for instance the 14 pages from 37--50 took three times more
time than the 36 pages 1--36).
Printing the same document with Acrobat 6, or TeXShop presents no
such problems.
Best regards: OK
