This snippet of html renders fine on Firefox 1.5.0.12, and "page
previews" fine, but does not generate valid postscript during 
printing.  The error also occurs with Firefox 1.5.0.10, but does
not occur with firefox 2.0.0.4, firefox 3.0a5, or with other
browsers on other systems.

<p align="justify">
Blah blah.

The "align=justify" causes all the text in the second paragraph to
get smooshed on top of the first character.  Align center, left,
and right work fine, as does the previous paragraph.  The output 
prints smooshed on two different postscript printers and with
ghostview ("gv"), with different default fonts, and two different
installations of SL5.

Align=justify is not common in html, but this bug does screw up the
printing of pages it does occur on.  Anyone else what to give this
a try, and see if it is reproducable for other printer types and
setups?
