Printing beautiful ancestor trees?

[bugbear]

I am having a wonderful time researching family history, and have found 750 people related to my SO.

Further, I have found extensive biographical data on some of them. This hobby is FUN! 

Sadly, most of SO's living relatives just want to see "The Family Tree", by which they mean the doubly-forking tree of direct ancestors.

Nothing more, which is like the tree's that were shown on the most recent series of WDYTYA.

Can anyone recommend software that generates such things (the prettier the better, archaic fonts etc), ideally including images of the people if available?

Hi bugbear - I'm afraid i don't have quick and it is only part of the tree, but I love the ones I have created in Photoshop - they will become pages in the digital scrapbook I am creating of our family history

This is the company who do WDYTYA

Very reasonable prices.   

Lovely work, Meryl.

I made a perl script to handle Gramps data (I use gramps) and produces DOT
format files to drive Graphviz.

The software is made to my personal preference; in particular the plot
is has a vertical date axis, so that all boxes at the same height are the same date
(unlike normal genealogical tree which seem more driven by generation counts).

I also use a separate (dated) box for weddings.

Here's is my SO's family tree, albeit with the names and location removed.

My software also can also attach a "gallery" shots to persons I cannot
easily anonomise this for publication.

Comments and tips welcomed.

Seems quite complex.   (What is an SO?)

Significant Other would be my guess

Ah yes, seems very likely.
