I redid our beloved beastie in a simplified way that eliminates this problem sufficiently. Take a look at the following example which is reduced to just 28x42 pixels! And this is on screen! - when printing, it is possible to go even smaller with this design without any trouble. No need to drop beastie as the freebsd logo for this reason: http://top.ch/sitedata/freebsd/minibeastie.gif Chris chris@czv.com +41 329 41 41 41 Chris Zumbrunn Ventures - http://www.czv.com/ Internet Application Technology - Reduced to the Maximum
