Description:

firefox 2.0.0.8 and 2.0.0.9 are crumple some text during printing.
It crumple text with <p align="justify"> tag.
Firefox build 2.0.0.9 from mozilla.org prints normally.

Versions: firefox-2.0.0.8 and firefox-2.0.0.9.

Steps to reproduce:
I have wrote such file:
****** test.htm ******
<html>
<head>head</head>
<body>
<p align="left">paragraph 1 (align="left")</p>
<p align="center">paragraph 2 (align="center")</p>
<p align="justify">paragraph 3 (align="justify")</p>
<p align="right">paragraph 4 (align="right")</p>
</body>
</html>
****** test.htm ******
and print it from firefox on my printer or into file (by setting "Print to file" checkbox).

Results presets at attached files:
test.arch.ps: Archlinux firefox biuld 2.0.0.9.
test.moz.ps: firefox build 2.0.0.9, downloaded from www.mozilla.org.

There's some pango printing patches in Fedora CVS for this. Either we apply all their pango rendering patches, or none at all, but not half of them.

Seems fixed with Firefox 2.0.0.11-1 (x86_64 and up-to-date system as of the posting).

Do you use XFT or Pango for rendering (did you disable pango rendering which is default?)
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Friday, 08 February 2008, 15:21 GMT
I assume I use the default because I don't know how I would go about changing the renderer... how can I check?

Still happens with 2.0.0.14? What about firefox 3 ?
