It seems the problem can be narrowed down to xprint's inability to recognise the *generic* font family names (serif, sans-serif, monospace) used by fontconfig (but xprint does not use fontconfig). It only recognises specific names.
The Debian bug report pages are good test pages (for instance bugs.debian.org/xprt-xprintorg). Print with xprint; everything becomes monospace. This means that on my system xprint uses some monospace font as default (Courier_iso8859-1 to judge from the ps file) but this may not be the same on every system. I copied the page and its css. The headlines in boxes (like "Outstanding Bugs ..") are h2 type headlines belonging to a class "outstanding". The css specifies for h2.outstanding just the font-family sans-serif. Only when I changed this to "Arial, sans-serif" did xprint handle those headlines correctly. In the Debian home page, the left column is a named division called "leftcol", and the css specifies for this: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. Because this use of non-generic font family names the left column prints OK. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
