Hi people,

You all seem to be suffering from exactly the same problems with KWord prin=
ting.

After looking at the information you all provided I can only come to one co=
nclusion
which is that you all use vector fonts and you all use free fonts. I am afr=
aid
your problems are based on bad quality fonts.

Before you start burning down SuSe or RedHat on this let me tell you that f=
onts
are expensive things; buy a Helvetica from Adobe and it will cost you about=
 about
25.99 USD (see http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_934.html)

The best solve is to install correct fonts, the Microsoft free  downloadable
fonts are a good bet, and if you want to print professionaly you might cons=
ider
buying them.

Notice that KOffice and QT will continue to fine tune their printing algori=
tms
and maybe in the next version the problems with fonts will be solved, but I=
 can't
make any guarantees since I don't write that ;)

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
