User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110904 Firefox/3.0b1

When printing http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ProgrammingGuide/StorageManager?action=print with Firefox 3.0b1, the code sample boxes contain (only) accented characters, and the browser hangs at 16%.  Print preview also looks a little strange, but not as bad as actually printing.

Using the same computer and printer with Firefox 2.0.0.9, everything prints and print previews fine.

Printer is HP Laserjet 1320n.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ProgrammingGuide/StorageManager?action=print
2. Select File->Print...
3. Click "OK".

Actual Results:  
Strange characters (replacing correct text) in code sample boxes; browser hangs some way into the print job.

Expected Results:  
Page prints normally (as in Firefox 2.0.0.9).
Thanks to Thomas Kloos for pointing out the similarity to bug #396315.

I have a bitmap font called Courier (not Courier New) - if I remove this, the problem disappears.  This font is in a .fon file.

I've noted the relation to bug #396315 in that bug - not sure if this is a duplicate, because I am only seeing problems when printing (and sometimes on print preview), not when browsing.

Hey Steffan, I tested this in 3.0 by printing out the first 5 pages and everything looked ok, so I'm going to close this out. If you still see the problem, please re-open the bug.

Not sure whether you had the offending font installed.  I no longer have the bitmap Courier font available, so can't test.  As noone else has raised this, I'll leave it as WFM.
