I made a simplified test case: http://techhouse.brown.edu/~pretzalz/test.html
which has the source:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">
This page has <i>italics</i> and <em>emphasis</em>.
</body>
</html>
When I try to print this page, I get a console error "NO FONT WAS FOUND" which
appears twice and the following output:
http://techhouse.brown.edu/~pretzalz/mozilla.ps .  The words italics and
emphasis are slightly larger and bolder(though this might just be my perception
of them being larger), but they aren't like how they are displayed in the
browser or in print preview(though print preview has messed up spacing, the
words are still cursive).  When Georgia is removed from the body style, printing
works correctly.

Expected result: Page is printed as it is displayed in the browser.
Actual result: Italic and Emphasized words are printed in a completely different
style. 

I did a xlsfonts | grep -i georgia and confirmed that there is indeed no such
font called Georgia on my system so mozilla should use the secondary font
'serif' to print just as it does to display the page.  I am using a CVS build
from yesterday.
Boris, any ideas on this one?
does it still happen on RC1?

I see <em> and <i> not printing italic at all (and neither does font-style:italic).

Does this PostScript job print OK for you ?

    
    

    
  
It works, but since I can't get Xprt to work it isn't very helpful, but I guess
that is more my problem than Mozilla's.

Which specific problem do you have with Xprt ?

sr=bzbarsky.  nice find...

This code sucks in another cute way; for 

"font-family: foo, sans-serif;"

it will do a substitution of "Times New Roman" for "foo" and ignore the generic
font family... nsAFMObject::CheckBasicFonts() needs to look at gSubstituteMap,
not just at gSubstituteFonts... and it should consider using EnumerateFamilies
on the nsFont instead of the RFind it does now... do we have a bug on fixing
this function to generally work?
