This problem has been really bothering me ever since 7.3. When I read the messages on this thread, I found the problem in the source code, made a patch and rebuilt the rpms (boy, that is almost like rebuilding XFree86!). It works! With Helvetica_Oblique changed to Helvetica-Oblique both mozilla and galeon print correctly to my HP4000 level 2 postscript printer. Bugzilla 75188 covers this problem and I have attached the patch to it. For those who need this fixed much sooner rather than later and don't mind taking a chance, there is another way describer below. This worked for me but could do something really bad for you. The bad text is in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/components/libgfxps.so Use khexedit on the file. Search for Helvetica_Oblique. Use the mouse to select the "_" character and change it to "-". Save it. I do hope that this get fixed sooner rather than later (errata-wise that is). Gene
