Hi, I only use xpdf, so I don't have this problem but I just noticed that I can't print any longer with this release of firefox, the generated postscript beeing very strange. I first thought that was an UTF8 problem, but I got the same behavior with iso-8859-1 encoding. So I re-install the previous release (1.5.0.12-0.3.el4) and I can print afresh. Does anybody see the same problem ? -- Best regards, Robert FRANCHISSEUR ____ Apollo_gist :-)_______________________________________________ | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | | Boite 99 - 4, place Jussieu F-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | -------------------------------------------------------------------
