Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Ted Huarng]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

In the page http://xys.org/ (gb2312) and http://home.sina.com/index_b5.html
(big5), the characters cannot be print correctly (preview is ok).

Version 0.99 is alright. version after 0.99 not working anymore.

My printer setting in File:Print... is "Postscript/default".

If I print the page to file (mozilla.ps), and check it using gs, the result is
not correct, too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto http://home.sina.com/index_b5.html
2. select File:Print...
3. compare printed result with the page on the screen.
Actual Results:  
all Chinese characters are printed as blank blocks instead.

Expected Results:  
The Chinese characters on the printed page should look same as the screen.

Because the printing on version 0.99 is fine, refering to the printing module on
version 0.99 may help.

Please take a look at

able to print http://home.sina.com/index_b5.html without problems... :)
