Hello.
The mozilla does not print Greek the way it should be.
I have found a solution but it needs mozilla compiled with --enable-freetype2.
What can I do?

are you sure?
if you have to compile mozilla you can use abs for it and edit mozconfig or what that file is named nowadays, it was a while since i compiled it myself,
but i doubt there is a problem with it, many greeks are using arch so i think it should work,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

You could modify the PKGBUILD locally, and then recompile it.

Thank you for your replies.
The problem really exists and it occured to me with Mozilla in every distro I tried.
It happens to Mozilla Firefox too.
With the right encoding selected when you print with Mozilla the Greek Characters do not appear on the printing paper but ok in the screen.
Some people found a solution and that is:
1) type about:buildconfig
2) there must be a line –enable-freetype2 in the about:buildconfig
3) type about:config
4) check if line font.FreeType2.enable is true and if not make it true.
5) enter a line font.directory.truetype.1 to point to the directory of truetype fonts
For this soluton to work I need the -enable-freetype2 which in my about:buildconfig shows -disable-freetype2
I am not wet familiar with the abs so if someone could help me with the steps to recompile locally mozilla would be appreciated.
If I compile locally if an update occurs I have to recompile?
