[PLUG] Graphic Format Quality

[Rich Shepard]

   I have a small file (a logotype) using a specific typeface that I can
create with OO.o or GIMP. Using OO.o I can save it as a .pdf file and the
edges are sharp and smooth. If I run it through pdf2ps, the resulting
PostScript file is of obviously lesser quality. Could this be due to the
specs used by the two tools?

   When I create it in the GIMP I can save it directly as an .eps file, but
again the quality is not as high as it could be. I don't know why.

   This file is a logo that I want to use in the LaTeX templates for
SQL-Ledger. Those files are compiled with latex, not pdflatex, so I cannot
use a .pdf file in them.

   Have any of you graphics-oriented folks any thoughts about getting a
high-quality .eps file I can use?

Thanks,

Rich
