Go to www.google.com and do a Print Preview. Notice that the links to "Advanced
search", "Preferences" and "Language tools" does not have it's last few
characters underlined. In the browser window they are completely underlined.

Below I will attach a screenshot of how this looks.

Attachment: Screenshot that shows the text that isn't completely underlined.

There are other bugs already on underlining not being measured correctly when
printing (it's worse in the printed output than in print preview, btw).

This is because currently we can get the exact font that matches the printer
when in print preview. So the length of the underline is correct, but the
"displayed" length of the text is wrong. Note that the actual length of the text
and how the lines are broken is still correct.

Could be a dup, but I am changing the summary, I don't think I filed this bug yet.

rods:
Print preview for Xprint-based printers do not have this problem, therefore I
assume this is somehow related to our PostScript module...

I can't reproduce it with recently trunk.
The print result is good.

Pete, the print output is just fine; this bug is about how it looks in Print
Preview.
