Re: FM7 on Windows XP: more display problems

Make sure that you have not deleted the TrueType "Symbol" font file.
It is part of the "secret sauce" of both Windows 2000 and XP. If you
deleted, weird stuff happens. It is ONLY exception to use of both a
TrueType and Type 1 font with the same name.

It prints OK, but it sure does look ugly on screen. For background, here's what I reported when I was suffering from other jaggies (now fixed) and slow EPS displays (also fixed -- faulty connection to a network drive):

I have transferred a bunch of ATM PostScript fonts from my old 98SE system, installing them with ATM 4.1 Lite, and the display quality is inferior on XP, i.e. I can see the jaggies. I am using the same 19" monitor on XP as I used on the 98SE system; when installing it, XP called for and installed what it considered to be the correct up-to-date driver."
