I developed the above slide presentation on 641c for windows (win2k). 
Opening/viewing it on 641c on Linux is quite disappointing...

The background gradient is real choppy and harsh.

The font substitution (from Arial to Helvetica) seems to have gone alright, but
the character spacing looks like crap, and the height didn't translate
correctly. (the Linux view has "shorter" fonts than in windows.)

Basically, I can't use the Linux version if it can't translate correctly from
the win2k version.  Please fix!

Please attach the file as an attachment because it is better to
handle. Thanks.

Hi Ron,
after examining your document I come to the conclusion that this is
not a bug. When loading the doc on a 641c I crashed under Windows 2k
and SuSE Linux. So I tested it on an internal version.
The harsh and choppy background gradient is a result of the color
depth of your graphic driver.When using high color resolution it looks
choppy. Please choose a higher one (32 bit True color).
The bad character spacing depends on the fact that you have selected
alignment-left in the stylist and justified in the hard formatting of
the object bar. In combination with the size of the font and the width
of the textbox there is no other way than the big character spacing.
But this looks bad under Windows, too.
We measured the font size in windows and under linux and their height
is about the same.
If this is not the behaviour you have ment please feel free to sent
another issue. Thanks for your help.
