Here's a small sample app to illustrate what i'm running into.. http://www.scottkrause.com/PrintTest/PrintingTest.html
Right click to view source.... It's one file. When you click the print button it just adds the text control to the print job object. You'll notice not all the text is printed... I've been testing sending the document to the printer as well as (for saving paper) printing to pdf or Microsoft Document Image writer. --Scott --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can you make a really small test case? > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of scott_flex > Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 6:58 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Html Text does NOT print in same format as > rendered on screen.. > > > > > Text/Fonts render differently when sent to the printer than when > viewed on screen, this is a real PAIN when formatting display objects > to send to the printer. > > I've added a few Text controls to to a vbox with variable length > data, some have custom font formatting, ALL installed fonts, even > tested with embedded fonts. > > The width of the text box is 100%, which fills to the width of the > vbox, and the height is not set, so it grows to show all text.
