OK... I forgot to mention this but you can get it to work with fixed-width
fonts like courier 10, but it makes Konq really ugly.
I just tried the odd size fonts and no joy, it still does it.
As another piece of "evidence", I have rigged up a PDF printer from Samba that
takes Postscript output from a WIndows box and mails the resulting PDF back
to the user. This uses Ghostscript and does not have this problem.
