Hi...
First off, this is a *very* minor issue for me, one that most people
wouldn't even worry about. However, not being most people, I am
wondering what is required to get printed output of Web pages, e-mails,
etc. containing Asian fonts to look like it does on screen. (Note: I
cannot even read any Asian languages! I just feel that if I can *see*
it, I should be able to print it. I work in the quick-printing industry;
maybe that has something to do with it. :)
If, for instance, I go to the Japanese version of the Gentoo Weekly News,
Konqueror displays a lot of Japanese characters -- as one would expect.
If I try to print the page, however, I get a jumble of ASCII characters
that does not look pretty. Examining the PostScript produced shows this:
"% Asian postscript font requested. Using Verdana-Bold-H"
So, after about an hour of Googling and not finding much of relevance, I
thought I would ask here for advice or suggestions. Is there a package I
should emerge, or a setting I should change, that would help here? I'll
appreciate any information someone could provide!
(Next time I'm bored, maybe I'll try printing in Arabic... I just think
it's fun to be able to do this stuff, even if I don't need to.)
