183688 - [ps] Printing justified ISO-8859-2 text - big spaces inside words

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[Stanislav Brabec]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

Printing upper mentioned page, text contains strange spaces after any ISO-8859-2
character. Output is unusable.

I am not sure, whether similar problem is not present also for small-caps (text
looks nearly OK, so I am on doubt, whether it is standard look of text without
kerning or not).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open upper mentioned page or any other ISO-8859-2 page with justified text.
2. Print page.
3. Please note that print preview is OK.

Actual Results:  
Spaces between characters are wider than standard space between words.

Expected Results:  
No space inside word.

This bug occurs in all versions since the time, when mozilla started to print
ISO-8859-2.

Another old bug in the PostScript module (it looks the folks who markes
unconfirmed bugs as "WTF" after some idle time closed the original report... ;-(
).

Attachment: Gzip'ed PostScript job, http://www.spirala.cz/reinkarnace/prevt_karma.html page 1 printed using Mozilla's Xprint module (Mozilla 2002-11-21-08-trunk and Xprt from xprint.mozdev.org release 007)

Reporter:
Solution as usual:
Install Xprint's server side, after that you should be able to print
non-ISO8859-1 pages without problems. See
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/ , http://xprint.mozdev.org/ and
http://xprint.mozdev.org/releases/ for further details.

Attachment shows much better result, but it also contains incorrect (much
smaller) spaces after zcaron, tcaron and (at least lowercase) rcaron.

Dup of bug 182217?

Comment 6

[Leston Buell]

It looks like bug 182217 will be duped to bug 144317. So, maybe this bug should
be duped to 144317, as well.

Thomas, does this work for you also?

Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s).

Hey Stanislav,
Can you still reproduce this issue or should we close it?

Feel free to re-open if the issue is still reproducible on your end in the latest FF versions.

The page referred does not exist any more. I even cannot find a web page that still uses ISO-8859-2 and not UTF-8. But I found a page that still uses CP1250. Tried to print to PDF, letter spacing is perfect.
