Win32 printing and CTFMON, QA question

[Daniel Jensen]

As I noted in bug 3239, I found that disabling Microsoft's 'Advanced Text Services' fixed Abi's printing problem for me. I'm curious as to what proportion of the win32 printing difficulties may be related to these services. CTFMON is installed by recent versions of MS Office and appears to come by default on Win XP. MS describes how to disable it at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q282599.

BTW, for QA, what's the policy on verifying bugs which are verifiably fixed in head but not in stable? Should such bugs get verified as fixed unless the bug is slated for fixing in stable (is on the "make 1.0.5 not suck" list)?
