Les, we have some Imagen printers at Stanford that have been producing
absolute total ugly disgusting swill for years. You should be thankful
that I have not tried to convince people that this is the fault of the
printers, rather than the fault of the "whole system" environment
including the fonts and the spacing information that the formatting
programs have to work with. 

When I have the time, I will put together an explanation of scaling,
including geometric and typographic, for the benefit of you and anybody
else who might not understand it. In the interim, I guess that as long
as you keep identifying yourself as an Imagen stockholder in any
message where you flame at LaserWriters, things should be OK.

[Disclaimer: I am a paid consultant to Adobe, though nothing I say in
this forum (or anywhere else) represents their position, and in fact
they read it on Laser-Lovers like the rest of you.]
