Re: [Dvipng] Higher quality (smooth) PNGs?

[U Avalos]

Sorry for the delay. 

A quick test shows no noticeable change in quality. In fact, the resulting 
images look the same.

I created two sets of images, one using the "usual" switches and another using 
the "truecolor" switch.

On the computer screen, both latex fragments look the same.

I then converted the files to PDFs and printed them. Again, both latex 
fragments look the same.

If there's a difference, I can't spot it.
