The same logic applies to mozilla-1.9.2 branch, I run Firefox 3.6 and

Thanks, Adrian!

My only nit to pick is that I don't like double blank lines taking up
space in my editor.
This is a low risk change that we should consider for FF4.
It only changes behavior when printing.

disable hinting when printing
This patch adds a "printing" fontconfig property if the font is for
printing. When creating the font, if printing is true, hint metrics and
hint style are disabled.

I had a look at gfxPangoFonts.cpp and the problem is the line
cairo_font_options_set_hint_metrics(fontOptions,
CAIRO_HINT_METRICS_ON);
in CreateScaledFont().
Testing with metrics set to off produced perfect print output. I'm not
sure what hint metrics has to do with fontconfig as the above line

The current cairo git contains a fix to
Let me see if I've got this right. If a user is so misguided as to turn on
hinting for screen rendering, they get lousy printed output because Firefox
uses FcRenderPrepare, whose only benefit is to produce synthetic oblique, for
printing as well as screen rendering.
It may come as a surprise
Testing with mozilla-central and cairo git I'm still seeing ugly text.
The recent changes to cairo subsetting to output latin text as literal
strings shows how bad the problem is.

Unfortunately, the upstream "fix" fixes only the GNOME path and not the
fontconfig one. It was just beyond my imagination, that it can matter,
which way you specify the hinting settings.
A valid reason to mess around with hinting settings at the fontconfig level is
a wish to have a consistent fon

I'm using Firefox 3 as it came along with Hardy 8.04, and no matter what
