Hi Jim,

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town last week.

I believe it is totally possible to publication quality text, but you will have 
to experiment it on your machine. My suggestion is to try different font in your
isl script, the quality of the font can be different in each machine. This 
probably answers your first two questions. The font associates with the ISL is 
somehow different from the font bounded with the IDV package and we did see 
people generated very nice text output.
