[Tb] Printing maps

Lee,

Thanks for the tips. My setup is similar, Tb 2.2 on OS X 10.3.5.

It looks like these printing/export problems are on the radar at
Eastgate (search for "printing"):

So I've tinkered with the placement of my notes on the map, and now I
can get partial results but no joy. The output's not random, but I
haven't figured out the rules yet.

I see what you mean about tiny labels in the PDF output. For what it's
worth, you'll get better results (proportionally larger text) if you
set the map's scale to -4, using the scale widget at lower left.

Changing map scale also affects the output of Edit > Copy view picture
in interesting ways. It's possible that a combination of large text
(set in prefs) and small map scale would produce a print-quality map.

Oh well, back to work.
