Libreoffice 3.4.4 on Fedora 16, x86_64. Printer: Laserjet 4M+ (Postscript Level 2) I used OOo for many years and never had this problem until I switched to Libreoffice. Whenever I print to this printer I must remember to go into Properties> Options > Device and change the print type from PDF to Postscript. If I do not the text will fail to be kerned according to the font metrics; that is, a proportional font will be spaced as though it was a monospace font. All other applications print fine. There is no setting for this in the driver, which uses a PPD file. I looked everywhere for a setting to set it to use Postscript as the default, but I can't find it. It is extra work to have to change this setting all the time. And usually I forget to change the setting and have to print the page again after I realize that I forgot. This is very annoying, and it wastes paper, toner and electricity. I really hope someone can tell me how to change the default behavior, else I will have to remove Libreoffice and reinstall OOo. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
