Not in detail. Simply that the default postscript driver for mozilla behaves in such a way that non-latin letters come out as boxes. It's got something to do with the way fonts and glyphs are handled. I think if you have a Russified printer, for example, with russian fonts, then it will be able to print with the default driver. I believe there is some way of manipulating the fonts so that the needed glyphs are sent in with the file. Redhat does something like this and refuses to include Xprint support. But when I looked into sorting all this out, the answer I got was to just use Xprint, which "just works", see for instance - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125006 - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/ I think Xprint embeds glyph into the postscript, which is why file sizes might be larger, but also why it works. Drew p.s. I'm changing the Xprint packages, since xprt is being dropped from Debian's XFree86. You'll want to update the mozillas' xprt-xprintorg dependencies to just xprt (or to xprint, if that's what I decide to end up with). I'll leave xprt-xprintorg as a dummy package for now so mozilla won't break, and will let you know what the final Xprint package name will be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
