firefox has problems with printing changing fonts

[Adriaan Peeters]

Firefox has problems to print text that has several fonts (or font variants) in one line. This is reproducible with for example an html file of coloured source code.

I am using the following packages on Ubuntu Breezy:

ii firefox 1.0.7-0ubuntu20 lightweight web browser based on Mozilla
ii firefox-gnome-support 1.0.7-0ubuntu20 Support for Gnome in Mozilla Firefox
ii mozilla-firefox 1.0.7-0ubuntu20 dummy transitional package
rc mozilla-firefox-gnome-support 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1 Support for Gnome in Mozilla Firefox
ii mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb 1.0.4lang20050515-1ubuntu3 Mozilla Firefox English language/region package
ii mozilla-firefox-locale-nl-nl 1.0.4lang20050515-1ubuntu3 Mozilla Firefox Dutch language/region package

This file is the print to file output of this webpage: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/cactus/branches/CACTUS_14_ANT_BRANCH/samples/servlet/src/java/j2ee13/org/apache/cactus/sample/SampleFilter.java?rev=237658&view=markup

It is just a random webpage that makes it possible to reproduce the problem. Check page 3 of the attached postscript file. The purple "throws" overlaps with the "(" to the left of it. The quotes around "header" also overlap with the "(" to the left of it.

Removing extra mozilla-firefox task, but keeping firefox task open.

Also, does anyone can test if this problem is still present in newer versions of Firefox (1.5 is in Dapper, 2.0 is in Edgy)
