Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205001

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Dominik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

If I have a page where the font size is set with CSS the change of scale factor
in the print preview has no effect. It only changes fonts which size is declared
through HTML.
In the normal window if I change text zoom under view HTML and CSS-fonts will be
scaled.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a webpage with <font size="1">text</font> and <div
style="font-size:7pt;">text</div>
2. Zoom in to 200% in normal window, both texts will be desplayed bigger
3. Go to print preview.
4. Zoom in to 200% , only the HTML-formatted text will be displayed bigger, the
CSS-text stays small 

Actual Results:  
The HTML-text is big, the CSS-text stays small.

Expected Results:  
Both texts should be displayed bigger like in the normal text-zoom.

Attachment: HTML-file which shows the bug

Open the file in Mozilla and decrease font-size to 200%. Everythings fine. Go
to print preview and set the scale to 200%. Now only the HTML-text is scaled.

So, new information: The size will only not be scaled If I choose "pt" as
measure unit. With "px" everything works fine. So my problem ist solved because
I can change my CSS entries, but why it wouldn't work with "pt" is still the
question.

Sorry for only saying me-too, but this was the only bug I could find of this issue. This problem is almost as bad as IE not scaling pixel-sized fonts, and doesn't seem to have got any attention. I can confirm this still exists in Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP. (If this is a dupe and/or has been fixed on the trunk, my humblest apologies.)
