All right, now I'm really getting annoyed. I recently installed Microsofts truetype fonts from the windows98 CD I have on my RedHat 7.1 system for XFree86 4.1.0 (I know, I know - I feel dirty). I did this because when I did a recent up2date my XFree86 was upgraded to 4.1.0 and all the fonts became pretty ugly. Anyway, the fonts look pretty good on my system. Everything with the X display looks great.
The only problem now is that printing isn't working or at least it isn't working for my browsers. Printing works for pdf files and for most postscript files and text files. However, when I use Konqueror or Opera to print a web page the printer seems to choke on the amount of data being sent. I printed to a file and the file seems to have the fonts embedded. Apparently the printing system in KDE seems to think that it needs to embed these new truetype fonts into the postscript files it sends to the printer. Embedding the fonts makes the postscript file so large that the printer seems to choke on it. The printer I'm using is a HP LaserJet 6MP. I'm using KDE 2.1.1. Does anybody have any suggestions? I've tried changing the fonts back to the original fonts and everything works when I do that. However, the fonts don't look so hot on my system. I'd like to be able to print with the truetype fonts. -- Carl D. Blake Electronics Design Engr. Mgr. Boeckeler Instruments, Inc. 4650 S.
