Fooling with bitmap resolutions gives me a headache, and I havent' figured
out
how to make it look good on screen and also good when printed. My students
print my pages a lot.
Thanks for Inkscape, tho -- it is perfect for me. I like the interface, and
since it saves
in SVG format, I get web pages without the intermediate bitmap bother. The
results are much better
