Bug#556867: cups-pdf: strong kerning errors
Hello Volker, thanks for your answer. I didn't want blame you in any way! The only thing that still confuses me: I get similar kerning errors when printing out from Konqueror, Chrome or Arora. I get the best result with Chrome and the worst with Firefox and Konqueror, but still these kerning errors are present in all of them. So, it must be sth. deeper, even if it is not cups-pdf (sorry again, this was my first thought). How would you recommend to proceed? Because these errors are really annoying. Kind regards, micu -- GnuPG: https://www1.inf.tu-dresden.de/~s3418892/micuintus.asc Fingerprint:1A15 A480 1F8B 07F6 9D12 3426 CEFE 7455 E4CB 4E80 / https://wiki.c3d2.de/Benutzer:Micuintus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

In the PDFs and PNGs, a can see obvious problems concerning the kerning of the font: example: google.png: the first 'o' is way to near to the 'g' of google. Also between the 'g' and the 'l' in the word google is not enough space. Ok, I checked that again - with Firefox (or any related browser) I get exactly the kerning errors shown. With Opera the page looks just fine. I remember in the past several issues with PostScript-Code generated by Firefox. This issue cannot be fixed by CUPS-PDF, since probably it is some trouble with the original PostScript-Code (generated by Firefox). In case it is an issue of the processing of this PS-code that has to be fixed by GhostScript which is the utility CUPS-PDF employs internally to convert PS to PDF.
