I've had a problem with printing from KDE on my Cooker machine for a while now, but finally decided to inquire about it when I noticed I was still having it in 3.1.93: when I print from an application like KMail, KWrite or KOffice, everything is fine except that the spacing between letters is much smaller than it should be -- in some fonts they actually overlap one another. The problem is independent of the printer -- it can be seen already in the PostScript generated by KDE, e.g. in the "Print Preview" window. Everything looks great except when I try to print. Is anyone else seeing this problem (or not seeing it?)
By the way, when I tried reinstalling some fonts using the KDE font installer (in 3.1.93) to see if I could fix this, I caused much greater problems for myself -- ghostscript stopped working at all (and hence the print previews were always completely blank). This problem was eventually traced to a file /etc/fonts/Fontmap which I think was created by KDE. After deleting that file, ghostscript works again, but I still have this annoying spacing problem.
