Hello,
Would any of you chaps happen to have any suggestions for solving the
firefox3 garbled fonts printing problem?
I've been living with this problem for quite a long time now... probably
more than a year... just by continuing to have both firefox3 _and_ firefox2
installed on my system. (I use the latter whenever I know I'm going to
need to print something.)
It appears that I'm not the only one who has ever experienced this problem.
(Far from it, apparently.) It's been discussed at length and was the subject
of PR #ports/128694, and also, apparently, Mozillia bug #411831.
I've tried the various suggested fixes, to wit:
1)
Adding:
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPiaxmaps" "True"
to my xorg.conf file
2)
setting my LANG environment variable to en_US.ISO8859-1 (it had been
defaulted to the value "C")
3)
performing a print-preview first, before actually printing
None of these things actually helped any. :-(
I'm very eager to find a solution for this problem, so any suggestions would
be appreciated. (I'm not even sure why ports/128694 was closed. It's not at
all clear, since there appears to have been no definitive resolution to the
issue.)
Please reply on-list, elsewise my dumb spam filtering may not allow me to see
your reply. Thanks.
Regards,
rfg
