Release: 0.9.1, CVS
Platform: Linux
GS-version: 5.50

Mozilla prints text too large. Is this a mozilla problem, or a gs problem? Can
it be changed?

Comment 1

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Could you attach a postscript file created by Mozilla demonstrating this
problem, as well as the URL that file was created at?

Is it the correct font thats being printed.. or is another font being 
substituted.. which could cause it to look larger?

reopening.  the _file_ is not too big.  the _text_size_ is too big.

On linux, size of fonts used seems to depend on preferences->fonts->display
resolution (smaller values produce smaller font size). Default size (at least
for 96 dpi display) is indeed to large.

Presumable, when mozilla gets a proper printing configuration UI, there could be
a separate resolution for printing ?

The image thing is bug 103145 and has nothing whatsoever to do with this bug.

can someone retest this bug.. I put a fix in for 37685.. which uses the correct 
font metrics.  May have cleaned this problem up.

Comment 12

[dcone (gone)]

I tested using ghostscript.. the sizes look good.  Seems the right fonts and 
metrics are used now.
