Hi
The print output from gimp2.0pre4 "german" is also buggy like in the
previous
versions. If i like to print with gimp with LANG=en is all ok. If i use
LANG=de_DE@euro it does not work. With the same printer preferences "Cups with turboprint" printername - Stylus640, printer - PostScript Level 2, command - lp -s -dStylus670, pppd-file - /usr/share/cups/model/turboprint/Epson_StylusColor670.ppd it works with english language. But if i change to german i get no preview. The developers from turboprint mean its a bug in the "translation" of floatingpoint numbers if using german. It "translates" the decimal point to a decimal comma. Knows anybody something about this?
Thanks Frank
The locale that fixes the decimal is LC_NUMERIC.
The value for this for fr_FR ou de_DE is the comma.
I suppose the bug is in Turboprint which is not aware of the locale. A call to setlocale() should be done in this program ...
A quick fix is to use LC_NUMERIC=C in your environement. Doing so you will get everywhere a dot instead of a comma as a decimal separator which is IMHO harmless.
