User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier:
When printing text files with PDF Creators like Adobe pdf, Foxit Phantom & nitro pdf the text in output PDF is not selectable or editable.
That means Firefox sends the text as images to the printer.
Reproducible: Always
Expected Results:
The text Should be selectable

I am using Firefox 4 rc build 1.
It appears with all Firefox 4 betas.
I am not sure with Firefox 3

Hmm. Does it still happen if you turn off hardware acceleration?

No, I have checked it. Without Hardware acceleration It prints as Text.
What is the Problem with hardware acceleration settings?

Bas?
Presumably the fact that we don't have the text ourselves in this case, since it's being composited on the GPU and all we have is the bitmap the GPU produces?

This is probably something to do with the way we handle D2D font rendering to non-D2D surfaces.

There's a path for GDI surface, otherwise cairo will get masks for the glyphs and composite things itself.
