Fonts in kprinter

[Erik Jakobsen]

When an application prints text, it requests a font to the system and
use it in the print data. However, the font provided might not be the
one requested if the latter is not available; the system might then
provide another one as substitution. All this is out of the control of
kdeprint.

Another issue is related to font embedding. The print data are generated
in PS language. When a font is used by the application, a piece of code
is added in the print data that tells the rasterizer (used later, in the
driver) which font to use. This means that the font should be also available
to the rasterizer. If it's not the case (for various reasons), then it's
better to embed the font directly in the print data such that the rasterizer
can access it. This features is a property enabled at Qt/system-level, in
"qtconfig", "Print(er)" section.

I don't know what is exactly your problem. If you're still lost, please
explain in details under which circumstances the printed font doesn't match
your expectation.

Thanks for your explanation. The charachters are if you imagine it, like
they are
drawed by only the contour of the outer part of a charachter, and no color
but white
in them.

Ok ?
