I seem to have problems producing a legible print-out from DEC's dxbook.
Printing itself works, but the resulting output is of extremely poor
quality. Not only does it look ugly, but, more importantly, words are
either joined or even missing occasionally. This happens both in
PostScript and text modes, and regardless of whether dxbook displays
under DECwindows on an Alpha workstation, or under, say, Sun's Open
Windows on a Sun ELC.
I enclose a sample of what comes out from the "Introduction to OSF DCE
...", page 1

I ought to add that the output that appears on the screen is readable,
even if not very pretty. There are no missing words, anyway.
I must admit that being used to excellent quality of printed output that
comes from Sun's Answerbook, I am very unhappy with what I get from
DEC's dxbook. The more so as our Australian DEC representatives told us
that since documentation is available on a CD, they no longer import
documentation in printed form from the US.
Is there a simple remedy to this problem?
