-------------------------------------
Sandro,
I can provide more info on this issue (Andrei is my colleague, so I'm talking
about the same issue).
We have an applet using Pivot 2.0, we'd like to enable printing of its content.
Originally, we wanted to print using browser's print functionality. This does
not work at all except in IE, so we print from Java. The printing code is very
simple and boils down to implementing Printable (we basically draw directly
into a PrintContext).
I noticed a strange discrepancy - the code I wrote that draws text prints fine,
but none of the Pivot Labels do.
Now, the only difference between my code and Pivot's appears to be the exact
text API used. Looking into your trunk
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/wtk/src/org/apache/pivot/wtk/skin/LabelSkin.java),
I can see that you are using drawGlyphVector, while I am simply calling
drawString.
Cursory search on the Internet yields several mentions of buggy Java
implementations on Mac and maybe Windows, especially with ClearType enabled,
but these should have been fixed by now.
Now, I've tried this on Windows 7 and latest Java 1.6 with and without
ClearType enabled and nothing changes. Andrei also tried the same on Linux and
Mac (I tried before on a Mac Snow Leopard and got the same result but will
re-test again today). I've also tried with Java 1.7 on a Windows XP VM and it
still doesn't work.
Fortunately, the test case is very simple - a single Pivot Window with a Label
with a bit of text, run inside an applet viewer debugging session in Eclipse
(assuming that's the IDE you're using) and printing directly from the applet
viewer to a PDF 'printer' like CutePDF will immediately show the problem (and
not waste any paper, go green!).
Please note that the only thing that doesn't print is text, Label's background
color for example prints just fine.
If you need more information, do let me know.

> From a Browser, Printing a page, for some reason I have all Labels not in
> output (see attached pdf, but the same happens with a print to paper).
> With 1.4 it was not so good but labels were present, while in current 1.5
> pre-release it seems that all is present but not labels.
> This should be a great fix to have in the final 1.5
> This happens on Win XP and Windows 7, both from latest Firefox and IE 8, and
> on all Pivot Applets.
