Hi there,
I'd like to return to the 2-year-old topic [1]:
1.

I see that there is a great progress in dealing with different dpi's (so
it's possible to use Gecko to render my page in 300/400 dpi in virtual X
screen (Xvfb) and than grab it with import). However, this solution have
some disadvantages (first of all, performance), and it seems to be
better to have real PDF export feature.
I used an extension PrintPDF [2] which turnes on "print to file"
functionality of Gecko. However, it seems to have some problems (e.g. I
can propose a testcase with rather complicated layout which renders OK
on the screen but can't be printed correctly).
2. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5971 which
So I'd like to ask: how printing is managed in Gecko now? Is it uses
Cairo PDF canvas to generate printable file? If yes, than why I have so
different results with on-screen and PDF rendering? If no (i.e. Gecko
uses its own technology to render pages for printing), is it possible to
use Cairo's features to do that?
Thanks in advance!
