What option should I pass to \externalfigure to not scale the image, from the manuals it seems to be scale=1000 but it does not seem to do anything here. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

\externalfigure[cow.pdf] should take the natural size; sometimes bitmaps can come out unexpexted but that;s then the consequence of lacking resolution specifications in the file. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed it is PNG file, I'll check the file and see if it can be fixed. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

if needed you can set the resolution (resolution=300 or so) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
