400115 - prints in serif instead of sans-serif (printing doesn't honor default font?)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Mikel Ward]

Attachment: sample HTML page

I have a simple HTML page that doesn't specify a font.

When I view it on the screen, it is rendered in sans-serif.  When I print it, it is rendered in serif.

Preferences:

Default font: sans-serif    Size: 16

Proportional: sans-serif    Size: 16
Serif: serif
Sans-serif: sans-serif
Monospace: monospace        Size: 14

I think the font names sans-serif, serif, and monospace are only on GNOME on Linux.  It may be specific to that.

Bug 283461 has a similar title, but I don't think it's related, because I have sans-serif as the default font for Western, Central European, Other Languages, and User Defined.  (My locale is en_AU, so I think I should get Western.)

do you see this issue still with version 3.6 or 4.0 beta?
