<span class="quote">> Why does GlobalParams.cc initialize antialiasPrinting to gFalse?</span >
Because it is the right thing to do. For antialising to work correctly the
image resolution needs to exactly match the resolution that color images are
rendered on the output device. When printing you generally don't know this so
is is better to send a higher resolution image and let the printer generate the
optimum output.
I don't have any objection to adding an -aa option as long as it does not
change the default.</pre>
