    We use EPS graphics using the PostScript backend of XEP then use GhostScript
    / GSView to convert the PS file to PDF.

    Yes, initially, but then I added -page to "convert". I think I figured it
    out, at least for this problem. I was "convert"ing to an image that was too
    small. I increased the page parameters, and I now get the image, but it is
    unacceptable. So, contrary to what I said before, the pstill product is
    working better than "convert" as it uses fonts.

    I guess at this point I would like a recommendation. My ultimate goal is
    HTML and PDF output from DocBook. I really like how XEP does the FO
    rendering but I need better printed graphics. I have MS Visio and the JPEG
    from it is fine for HTML. However, I am open to something else if it will do
    as good a job for HTML and a better job for printing.

    TIA

    Paul

       Are you creating a postscript file that is a full page with the

    image aligned at the bottom left hand corner?
