Re: [amibroker] printing problem

Hello,

Yes this is known issue. Since most printer drivers do not support BitBlt API
the shapes (which are bitmaps internally, not vectors) are replaced by arrows 
(vector) to be able to print at all.
This issue will be addressed once all shapes are implemented as vectors
instead of bitmaps.
