[Desktop-packages] [Bug 185700] Re: Wrong kerning in printed pages if font hinting is set to "medium" or "full"
No activity for 6 years Upstream bug report marked "RESOLVED FIXED" Marking this one also as fixed ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185700 Title: Wrong kerning in printed pages if font hinting is set to "medium" or "full" Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 1. Set font hinting mode with gnome-appearance-properties to "Medium" (this is the default setting) or "Full"; 2. Open a web page like http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7206411.stm and print it, preferably to a postscript file, close firefox; 3. Disable hinting or set it to "Slight", repeat step 2; 4. Compare font kerning in the printed pages (converting the files to PDF with ps2pdf improves the visibility of the issue). Actual results: bad kerning in the first print, good kerning in the second one. Expected results: hinting mode shouldn't affect printing, identical good kerning in both prints. Last tested with firefox-3.0 (3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly- 0ubuntu1) on Hardy daily desktop CD from 2008-01-24 and with a fresh home-brew build from Mozilla CVS (checkout start: Do 24. Jan 12:00:11 CET 2008) as well with official trunk builds from mozilla.org on Gutsy. This report dupes the abandoned upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403513 because I think that Ubuntu maintainers should be aware of the problem that will affect the usability of Firefox 3.0 for printing web pages.
