Bug#776563: DejaVu is not the only font that makes printing fail
Dear All, another "me too" from my side - unfortunately without any new info. I upgraded from wheezy to jessie recently and it did work before the upgrade. I tried different monospace fonts/sizes as suggested but no go, I also have the truncation issue and also in my case printing from editors (or textfiles directly via lpr) works without problems. cheers Georg

Well, I've never said it was the only one. But it's the one which appears as default with a clean install of jessie for some desktops (and I don't have tested all clean install desktop possibilities :) > The mail used for the test and the results table are attached.

That's not much, I know. I've been able to reproduce the problem in sid, so I'm wondering if that could be also present on wheezy but it was never noticed? Having the same table for it could be interesting. I've also looked at how geany editor does printing¹ and seems there's not much differences with Claws Mail², or at least not that I can see :( I've tried to add some initializations (wrapping, ellipsizing) but the problem still appears when printing. Curiously enough the problem does not appear when previewing, which makes it even more weird.
