Like I have described or others? No, not really. One reported similar problems some months ago, see http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org/msg10029.html. Behdad Esfahbod told him to change his code, I already did this but still get the same results. For examples see: http://www.uvena.de/tmp/cairo/print_pango_linux.pdf (fine) and http://www.uvena.de/tmp/cairo/print_pango_win32.pdf (broken) It's printed with the same code. Unfortunately, I didn't manage it yet to write a small sample programm to show this. The above PDFs are created by printing with Geany. The relevant code can be found in the draw_page function in http://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geany/trunk/src/printing.c?revision=2201&view=markup#l_466 Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key
