Printing documents in Firefox 3.0 or 3.5 on Ubuntu Intrepid has font kerning issues. You can see these issues in the Print Preview dialog and once printed. The issues are pretty sublte but definitely there; for example, two letters overlapping or squished together, or too much spacing between two letters.
The amazing thing is that if I take the same text and paste it into OpenOffice.org or some other GNOME application and print from there, it prints fine. It's definitely a Firefox problem specifically.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Print or print preview any web-page
2. Notice font kerning issues
Actual Results:
Letters spaced inconsistently, either too much of a gap or "squished together"
Expected Results:
Kerning that matches the rest of Linux desktop
