-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Printed output from Dinosaurs (for example, a fact box) may have a lower
resolution than expected, even with print quality set to high.

MORE INFORMATION
================

All text and pictures in Dinosaurs are 96 DPI (dots per inch) bitmaps and are
designed to be viewed best on the screen. The fonts are anti-aliased for a
"smoother" on-screen look. When the text and pictures are printed at any DPI
resolution, the quality will not improve beyond 96 DPI. This is a design
restriction of bitmapped text. Images are always printed in the resolution they
display.
