AFAIK Cups does nothing with fonts. The application has to create a
valid postscript which is then either rendered using a filter or sent to
the printer directly if it's beleived to be capable rendering it by
itself.
The postscript generated by the two browsers is probably different in
some way which is the reason only one borwser can print correctly.
AFAIK the languages printed correctly by Mozilla include Japanese and
Czech.
BTW:When you dont know what your problem is you should probably post to
expert first to determine if the bug is in Mandrake at all and which
package is likely causing it.
