https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238482 Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|Closed |Open Resolution|Works As Intended |--- --- Comment #9 from Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com> --- Why was this PR closed? It is in no sense "fixed" and the print output still looks utterly awful as I have demonstrated, and as Jan Beich explicitly confirmed by saying that bitmap fonts look bad except at low resolutions. "Works as intended" ??? It is the maintainer's explicit and deliberate intention that print output from Firefox should, by default, look like garbage?? Furthermore, I have done as suggested and run commands to determine various things about the fonts on my system. (See new attachement.) There are no fewer than 895 different possible font files listed in the output from "fc-list :scalable=false". How am I supposed to know which ones I need to make print output from Firefox look reasonable? Apparently, Jan Beich knows how to get this working right, as he demonstrated when he posted the following attachment to this PR: https://bz-attachments.freebsd.org/attachment.cgi?id=204975 In that case the print preview looks excellent. Now, if Jan Beich, or anyone else, can tell me how to make MY system produce such excellent print output from Firefox, then I will at least be able to work-around this self-evident bug for the time being. As Jan Beich himself noted, it is not just me who has reported this self-evident bug, so this isn't just one lone person who has made mention of this issue: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225744 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
