61475 - <PRE> formatted information is crunched against left margin [print][ps]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 37685

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[marvin]

When printing <PRE> formatted text, it is always crunched against the left
margin, with no spacing. This can make some charts and diagrams very difficult
to read. An example of this is as follows:
-----<cut here>-----
<CENTER><TABLE BORDER=2 CELLPADDING=15 BORDERCOLOR="#000000" > <TR> <TD
VALIGN=CENTER> <PRE>
#### #### ######
 ##   ##  ##   ##
  ## ##   ##   ##  ######    ######   #####
   ###    ######        ##  ##       ##   ##
  ## ##   ##   ##  #######  ######## #######
 ##   ##  ##   ## ##    ##        ## ##
#### #### ######   ######## #######   #####
</PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE></CENTER>
-----<cut here>-----
This should result in a printing of the word 'XBase', and this can be seen
onscreen. However, when printed, the output will have no spaceing, and look
entirely wrong.

Printing the attachment screws up the spacing in linux build 2001-01-05-08.
Setting bug status to new, adding 4xp and mozilla0.9 keywords.

See also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=21747 for
another test case with preformatted text, showing that it prints out in a
variable-width font (from bug 61475).

This is a duplicate of 37685, also taking off topembed keyword since this is a 
linux problem.
