Hi Roger,

(at the end)
Nothing is siad about th fact the lines look thicker. I will had some thing in the coming new version of the HowTo's. I agree that xpdf does not seems to have this option ... I will look.

Ah! Thank-you.

I see now that command toggles anti-aliasing. For anyone else listening to this exchange gv can be started with antialiasing on or off like this:

gv [-]-[no]antialias <filename>

xpdf can enable or disable antialiasing for vector graphics like this:

xpdf -aaVector yes || no <filename>

I could not find any means to toggle antialiasing from within xpdf.

Thanks you very much Olivier.
