Bug Description

On a PC, Windows XP, Firefox 3.6 .. but that probably doesn't matter. When you go to 'print preview' you can see what I would describe as a shadow behind the main rendered text, and sure enough when you print it is there as well.

In IE 8, the text rendered by typeface.js doesn't print or show in print preview at all.

I *am* using a print.css stylesheet and have specified another font for headings but that doesn't make a difference.

Yes, I can confirm that. If you disable selection, the shadow will gone.

I use a print css to style my prints. In this print css I'm using the next style to get rid of my double textline:

.typeface-js-selected-text {
    display:none;
}

This only works when visitors click on the print button on the site itself. When they use the print button of the browser the typefase text wil not be shown.

Is there an other way to get rid of the double textline?
