Is it possible to print ISO-8859-2 (e.g. Czech) text when Abiword is build only with GTK and not with Gnome?
With the Gnome build Czech printing worked for me 'out of the box'. Correct Czech characters were printed but the fonts which were embedded in the produced PostScript files were different from the fonts selected in the Abiword Menu (i.e. the URW fonts were used only for display on X11, not for printing). The same effect occurs for German (LANG=de_DE abiword) as well. When testing with German I found: Gnome Build: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- in Abiword Buffer: embedded in PostScript File: 1) Nimbus Roman /GnomeUni-Andale-Mono-Regular 2) Nimbus Mono /GnomeUni-Andale-Mono-Regular 3) Times New Roman /GnomeUni-Times-New-Roman-Regular 4) Nimbus Sans Condensed /GnomeUni-Andale-Mono-Regular 5) Dingbats /GnomeUni-Dingbats 6) Standard Symbols /GnomeUni-Andale-Mono-Regular 1): mono spaced sans serif font should not be used to print a proportional serif font 2): mono spaced is OK, but should not be sans serif wrong 3): proportional and serif, i.e. OK, but the print font looks quite different and is *very* ugly (the outlines have 'dents'). 4): should not be monospaced 5): blank paper when viewed with Ghostscript 6): wrong symbols when viewed with Ghostscript GTK Build: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- in Abiword Buffer: in Postcript File: 1) Nimbus Roman /NimbusRomNo9L-Regu 2) Nimbus Mono /NimbusMonL-Regu 3) Times New Roman /NimbusRomNo9L-Regu 4) Nimbus Sans Condensed /NimbusSanL-ReguCond 5) Dingbats /Dingbats 6) Standard Symbols /StandardSymL everything prints nicely exactly as displayed in the Abiword buffer and the fonts are beautiful. Do you have any idea what is going on here? Is my gnome-print setup completely fucked up? If I can't fix the problems when printing German with the Gnome build, I would prefer the GTK build (which has the additional benefit that CJK printing works). But when I use the GTK build, I found no way to print Czech correctly. Viewing the PostScript files directly with Ghostscript doesn't produce correct results an modifying the PostScript files with ogonkify didn't work either. -- Mike Fabian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
