Just FYI, Netscape does not have the same problem. This is surprising, as they come from the same code tree. Has there been any progress here?

Of course with package mozilla 2:1.4-4 you pick up all the bugs that that version of mozilla has.
I found 2 in bugzilla searching on "loop print": http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196306 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211813but they referred to 1.3b and 1.5a, don't know if this would effect this package.
Netscape is quite something else: it is indeed based on mozilla, but it all depends on what version of netscape.
I download the latest release of mozilla and compile that with xft, it avoids all such problems.
As to "nice", de gustibus non est disputandum... Hugo.
