    Grey/black letter print quality with free pdf utilities

    Anyone had luck using the free print to pdf utilities like pdf995 or cutepdf? With both of these I get letters that are half grey and half black when printing from WF 2.0. I've moved the pen_weight setting in config.pro all over the map with no success. I saw a thread from back in January...
