Many users may not realise that this is disadvantageous until too late
- with all the fonts converted to paths and less easy to open on other
operating systems.
PDF seems a rational default - what reasons are against changing to this?
I agree that PDF should have been default since start. I believe there
was a papercut bug for this. But I don't have reference to the bug.
By the way what you call as CUPS dialog is probably the dialog
provided by printing APIs in GTK+. So it should be possible to patch
GTK+ to use PDF by default.
