Hello,
I wonder if it is related but under SL4.5 I am still using
the old firefox1.5.0.12-0.3.el4 (july 2007) as I cannot print
with the more recent releases.
I allready mentionned this problem on november 16 and since that
time I tried :
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
which resulted in the same garbage on the screen.
I tried the PSI version kindly given by Urs Beyerle
but I have the same problem on my laptop.
I also remove my .mozilla directory.
What I see on the generated postscrip is that the fonts have changed
from Nimbus and Lucida to Helvetica and Times.
Helvetica
12:< /FontName /Helvetica.Bold.0.0.7fffffff.0.Set0 def
16:< /FontBBox [0 0 0 0]readonly def
494:< %%BeginResource: font Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fffffff.0.Set0
495:< %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0-3.0 Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fffffff.0.Set0 1.0
504:< /FontName /Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fffffff.0.Set0 def
It seems I am alone with this problem and if someone
as any idea where I could search ...
I also noted that printing the same page several times
give different generated postscript files.
For example, when printing this URL :
http://www.sauvonslarecherche.fr/spip.php?page=imprimer&id_article=1736
I got :
ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_1.ps
printing again:
ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_2.ps
and again:
ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_3.ps
with firefox1.5.0.12-0.3.el4 (july 2007) the good result is:
ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.3.el4_OK.ps
Thanks for your help.
