Or is it? But I'm curious ... Can you send me a .ps of both cases?

Konqueror and all KDE apps just embed the fonts in the postscript code, which is most portable (you don't need the fonts installed on the machine where the page is rendered to the printer, for one thing). So maybe Galeon replaces some fonts with fonts that look bad on screen (and you didn't set them up to be used on screen) but look better on a printer, and Konqueror is just being 'honest'? > > > It was all visible and confused me.

If you don't like it please go to bugs.kde.org and file a bug, perhaps a wishlist bug. Include concrete examples, the KDE developers don't respond to "something here somehow looks bad" reports. -- mfg, Jens Benecke /// www.hitchhikers.de, www.linuxfaq.de, www.linux.ms This mail is an attachment?
