Printing to a PDF file is not available in OOo so I exported directly to PDF as you suggested. The problem in OOo is different, though, from the one in konqueror. I tried to print the exact same text with the same fonts as in konqueror but the results are fine. In case of OOo I got bad results so far only when using "Arial black" and also set to bold. Can you please try what you get if you do the following: create a new document, only with the word "Download" in it. Set it to "Arial Black", size 12, export to pdf, then look at the pdf file with at least 200% magnification. What I get is "Downl oa d", ie. there are extra spaces before and after "oa". Funnily, if I print "load" only, then it's fine. Does anyone else get the same result? Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
