Printing problems

[tiwag]

starting a new thread, because this isn't related to a specific nightly build ..

from

can anyone else confirm this bug, I have seen it too, and now I am sure I am not the only one. It used to work ok, I think it popped up due to some changes a few weeks ago (there was some work for the paper size or something like that) ??

When I print my source code, underscores '_' have not been printed...

e.g:
on screen: "suite_travail"
on paper: "suite travail"

If you could resolve this bug it would be great :-)

i did a number of tests now and couldn't reproduce this

the only thing i found is, that when i specify in Settings->Editor a rather small font for e.g. Tahoma 8
then the printout on a pdf printer looked, like the underscores were missing when the pdf-page
was zoomed to pagewidth.

when zooming into, the underscores got visible at a certain zoom level,
which simply is a rendering problem depending on the used screen-resolution.

if any further tests are made, please specify which Editor font you have choosen in Settings->Editor
and please test, if there is a difference if you print out your pages with linenumbers or without.

if you print to a pdf file, please zoom in and look if there is a rendering problem on your screen.

btw. all my pdf files printed on a real printer were printing fine without any lost characters.

I have tested with todays' revision.

My font is : Courier New/Regular/8.

Without line numbers : printing is OK
With line numbers : the printing is NOT ok, the underscores are gone (well actually 99% is). This is printing on a real printer without intermediate pdf.

Magnification issue when line numbers ??

have there been any tests/improvements been done which are ready for commit ??

no

just change your font setting to Courier New 10pt
and adjust your screen size using Ctrl-+/-

then printout rendering problems should be gone
at least it works fine on all my computers, where i could test it ...

please do a test, if this works for you too

okay will test on Monday, will report back then [I think we should try to fix it, it used to work, I don't think I could persuade my colleagues and myself to start using font size 10 from now on ;-) ], but first let's test ...

[killerbot]

test done : changing the font size (Courier New) from 8 to 10 --> underscores even when line numbers printed.

So how do we get it back to work with font size '8' ?
