That may be but remember in the digital world, everything eventually
gets rasterized anyway. E.g. if you are targeting a 600dpi 8.5"x11"
output format, you might get acceptable results using -geometry
5100x6600 or so. I notice GIMP also rasterizes when exporting to
PostScript but maintains transparency.
