Re: Mozilla hangs on Print Preview

[Jack Dodds <brmdamon@aci.on.ca>]

Thanks for the suggestion, Hugo. 

I checked and xprt was already installed from the stable archive - I did 
an apt-get install xprt and that upgraded it to the version in the 
backport archive, but the symptoms are unchanged.  What is xprtorg?  The 
package is just called xprt as far as I can tell.

Do I understand from your email that Mozilla does NOT use fontconfig or 
ghostscript?  If I know that, it at least narrows the search.

Thanks

Jack
