I was reviewing old bugs I had submitted and found that this bug had been
closed due to its being unverified. I submitted the following additional
comments in Bugzilla, but when it was submitted, I got the message that it
wasn't e-mailed to anyone. So I am resubmitting them here.
Additional comments on But 2153
I've installed .0992 and still have the problem. I'm using Win98, an IBM
Thinkpad 1410 laptop across a local area network and two printers, an IBM
Infoprint 12 laser printer attached to my laptop and an HP LaserJet 5 as a
network printer. I get the problem on both printers.
I have found a workaround that works, but is not required with any other
word processor that I use.
My IBM InfoPrint 12 printer, by default is set to use its internal true type
fonts. With this setting, I get more lines on paper than on screen, i.e.,
the line spacing is more condensed. If I go into the printer's properties
and deselect "use internal fonts," then the document prints correctly and
matches the screen.
A similar workaround fixes the problem with the HP LaserJet 5. With this
printer, I go into the printer's properties and select "print truetype as
bitmap".
I've used Abi with other computers and printer setups without the problem.
While these workarounds work, they are a nuisance.
