firefox: fonts fine on screen but ugly when printed
When I print text from within firefox, both to pdf or directly to the printer, then the fonts that look great on screen and print preview appear big and very blocky on paper. It looks like each letter is converted to bitmaps with 5x7 pixels, or so.
I have had this problem on two different arch installs. And this problem is not new, I've had it for months or more.
Printing from chrome or other applications works fine.
Graphics printed with Firefox looks fine, too. It's an issue with how fonts are printed.
I searched the forums and wiki pages, but all font problems seem to affect how fonts are displayed on the screen, which is different from my issue.
Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated!
