It would us if a windows developer or someone with a non-xft build could 
tell us the state of the printing on their platform. My investigations so 
far point to a bug somewhere in the fl*layout classes but I haven't found 
it yet.

So windows/non-xft developers, what is printing from HEAD like on your 
platforms?

Please try to print table as well as regular text.

Thanks!
