  Pasha,
This should be OK!
I need more info to understand the problem.
Check the value of the global variable gCurrentPS (include TPostScript.h)
just before gPad->PaintPolyMarker.
Check the marker style, color and size.
I assume that the3 lines of code above are part of the Paint function
of one of your classes.
