It might be interesting to try - arre the cumulative errors cause by
errors in the hints or rounding errors as it moves along the line ? If its
the latter then maybe it could be fixed by moving to using doubles instead
of floats ?

I also notice that PSshow() does the correct thing - this is what I was using
until this week, but as I want OSX portability I am moving away from it, which
is proving a little fraught!

I'd be interested to hear what other people do to get around this - I cant
be the first person to actually try drawing text on the screen after all :-)

-bat.

PS: preseuably this is also the cause of other oddities - like missing the last
character of messages in alert panels, or the missing of the last character of
a name in an NSBrowser ? I see those quite regularly too.
