Since when is ghostscript used for printing? I guess you have to be a lot clearer in your communications since you seem to have a bug in a very non-standard situation that you work around using an even more non-standard fix. Ok, it works; but I'm not sure its a fix, and the first step you should take in making this a fix instead of a workaround is to describe a lot clearer what you expect and what you get. (from reading it again; you are not acutally printing, just previewing). I also see you found a bug in the kcm where the behavior differs between the basic and the advanced modes. I suggest you report that bug seperately so it can be fixed. > I am NOT in any way talking about embedding fonts. If you are not; then the end-product (the postscript) will not print using your font. So its not a fix. If for some reason you get the right font on paper, then I'm happy for you, but thats not going to help the majority of users. > with GNUlpr but I have not been able to try it with CUPS because the CUPS > GS device won't build with GCC-3.3. Did you report that bug to them yet? -- Thomas Zander ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@mail.kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
