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. -- Best regards, Robert FRANCHISSEUR ____ Apollo_gist :-)_______________________________________________ | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | | Boite 99 - 4, place Jussieu F-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | -------------------------------------------------------------------
