Hi,

is it only me (Opera 10.10 beta Build 4609 on a x86_64 Gentoo system)
that Opera 'scrambles' print output, i.e. it might be a font problem
since characters overlap, blanks are missing an so on.

E.g. try
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

(Firefox prints it just fine on the same machine)

Many thanks for hint or bug fix,

Helmut.

I would also be interested in a fix. I have seen this happening for a
while now, but I think that I also had this happen in the 9.XX series.

An even worse example
Is Opera of any use when comes to printing?

What's happening when you print the page? Here it prints ok,
although the text is rather small.

I've scanned the printout and uploaded it to
http://www.ody.ca/~dwhodgins/printsample.png
Scanner needs cleaning again :-), but the printout looks ok.

Using Version 10.10 Beta, Build 4644
Platform Linux
System i686, 2.6.29.6-2mnbcustom
Qt library 3.3.8b

Both pages printed fine here. Opera 10.00 on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 with an HP
L7680 printer.
