At the moment though it isn't mission critical Have you configured the cups-pdf printer to embed the fonts? If cups is locally installed, then just open the webbrowser and go to http://localhost:631/ This opens a connection to the local cups administration interface. Select the printers tab, and search for the cups-pdf printer. Select Set printer options. This opens the settings for the pdf printer. What is shown here is depending on your local setup (the possible settings are defined in a ppd file, which was selected during setup of the cups-pdf printer). Look for an option like embed all fonts, and set it to yes. Look for an option like subset fonts, and set it to no, check the licenses of the fonts which you use. I'm not sure if it is necessary to restart the cups system, /etc/init.d/cupsd restart This will result in bigger pdf files. The produced pdf files should contain all fonts, complete. If there are no such settings for the cups-pdf printer then try to create a new cups-pdf printer, and select Postscript Color Printer as ppd. Hope this helps. I'm using the cups-pdf printer often to store web pages, and it's working pretty nice. Urs -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Firefox was probably compiled with XPrint support. The USE flag xprint should do this. At least I think that XPrint configured a PDF Printer by default. Another option would be to use CUPS and configure a PDF printer there. It wouldn't matter in that case if Firefox has Xprint support, but that would probably make switching printers easier, too. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
