I have seen, in the earlier days of computer-GENERATED typesetting (i.e., four years ago), a printed flier from Mergenthaler advertising their digital photocomp machines. I don't know what resolution they used, but the rough edges COULD be detected, even after printing. They weren't really bad enough to prevent using the system, but close examination (no magnification, just paper close to face) revealed the roughness. This was also from a relatively inexpensive machine (as such equipment goes) and the fonts were recorded in only one point size. The rest were synthesized by software from that one master, which was loaded from floppy disk. This may have also had something to do with the visible rough edges, more than the resolution. Rick
