Hi, I know it is a long discussed thread, but I still have some questions about it:
1. I managed to make xprint work one time and it worked nice. (except for colors not being perfect) Lately it stopped working and I have no idea why. It seems like mozilla is configured well, xprint is running "veakol magniv vesababa". But, when I send a print using the xprint, nothing happens. it doesn't even get to my cups. Does any one has an idea what it can be?
I tried to debug the problem, and I noticed that in some cases the xprint daemon gets a segmentation fault.
I got a hunch that the problem is connected somehow to upgrading glibc or something similar, so i tried re-emerge xprint (I use gentoo). It did the trick. I can print with xprint again. (and maybe i'm just fantasizing, but it seems like the colors are better now...)
2. I happened to come across a mini-HOWTO in gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=139793&highlight=xprint+mozilla which explains how to use freetype2 to print non western characters while using TrueType fonts. I managed to configure my mozilla to use the truetype fonts (and already the pages look much prettier), but I didn't manage to make it print the hebrew. Does any1 has any experience with this mechanism? Is it possible to make it work with Hebrew?
When I started to use the TrueType fonts, the webpages immidatly looked better. (or maybe it's just because I replaced the font :) )
Anyway, using TrueType fonts (freetype2), and xprint is a good combination, and it works fine.
Noam
