The program Clear Look, with the last font and with the bit font, close the program only when go to print.
This program have an extra utility that can define many values of the font. What values can be the better?
The demo is:

Do not understand what you mean anti-aliasing?
In this case simply a better way  to render fonts, without noises and distortions

If you have to tell me something, do it as if I were a child of 2 years....
What kind of use are your .ps to?
To view, archive, convert into pdf, print them?
I'll prefer the bit font, since the output has a better rendering.
Simply archive them?
It is right also the no bitmap one.
Are you using the latest firefox releases?
The bitmap font is much more suitable.
Your .ps are ok, as you can see their output in attach using my tools here.
That's all.
Regards.

I never used Clear Look, i use the tools released by Netlabs (ghostscript and friends) and ePDF to convert .ps into pdf format, last time i used Gsview, was when ghostscript was at level 8.x .

I think that the ps no is ok. If you see the photo, show **Id** and your image only show **I**

Where I can download ghostscript 9.18 ? or can be better for print 8.71? I am running 9.15

Yes, you are right, check them..
To install latest ghostscript you need YUM/RPM (suggested), hoterwise they are here in .zip format:
http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/

Maybe they need some changes to better fit tab spaces, but, thinking about, this last was done using my bitmap conversion, and since you said the original bit from Alex is right for you, i'm going to reinstall it to try once again.
Maybe it works fine for your purposes.
I let you know.
As you can see, the output is the same, using both bit font versions (the original one and the one done by me): you need to find a way to better fit tab spaces.
Regards.

Hello Barbara
Now with Clearlook, is a text editor with the same problem, for delete noises I increase the size to 32, and the tab spaces with text.
I have a question, I install from Arca p m , the gs9.18.4, but I have de previous ver of ghostscript in other drives. How can I ensure that this version is running now, and not the previous.?
I solve the problem in clearlook, that close the program, in the setup, have this option:

Fron the help of CL:
(this fail)"Print in thread: If checked, Clearlook uses a background thread when printing documents.
(this is ok)Turn this option off only if you experience trouble printing documents in the background. "

Hello Barbara
Now with Clearlook...
I think you should wait for next versions (fonts & print driver): this is my TABSTOP.CTX output with both drivers using the same configuration at all.
As you can see, the output is a bit different, of course the .ps files are ok, but the tab spaces outputs differ.
Trying to fit better them on psprint driver could be now a wasting time, i'll suggest you to use the pscript driver until Alex end the jobs.
Regards.

Thanks Barbara, I see you're on the right track.
I have a suggestion for Alex , for the new psprint .
For years , I have been able to drag & drop to file.pdf to printer , But REXX command that allows to do this would be very interesting for many users, like me.

There is any option for force check in all cases the drive c?
Maybe /FORCE and /AC, which are...
Yes, it works as expected and also quite well  ;): just got a dirty flag on my boot drive (C:\), the next reboot performed a deeply check on it and an autocheck on other disks/volumes. So, if you don't have an hang which mark your boot drive as "dirty", this statement simply check disks as does /AUTOCHECK:* (and always boot drive), otherwise you got a deeply check (the /F:3 switch, which sets your desired check level).
Good to know.
This incredible OS/2  ;D !
Regards.

This no work for me, as Pete explain. Because I am running in jfs v1.09.06 in me pc with ecs2.0 and in ecs2.2b2.

It is very easy when you're changing fonts forget to restart the computer, and if you want to use the font without restarting , this causes a system failure or a failure in the application. After this is when I see that the jfs, said that the system is clean, but not is clean, in ecs20.
