Hi Valeri, Art, I looked at your style macros. As a result, I decided to make a change in TPostscript. Up until now, the line width on the screen and on Postscript could be substantially different. I have modified the generation of the postscript code such that line widths should have the same "aspect ratio" on the screen and the Postscript file. This change will appear in 2.23/08. We could include additional styles (currently "Default" and "Plain") in the standard version. If you have interesting suggestions for examples of good styles, let me know.
