Hi All,
I've been running 4.16r2 Pro on my Gentoo box for years with no issues. I
recently upgraded to 5.00 and am trying it out on a simple board before I
go to 'full production status'. I've now run across two printing issues:
1) in the Print->Printer dialog box, the correct printer is shown in the
drop-down box. However, the 'Print Info:' text field below it shows the
current default CUPS printer, not the one in the dialog box. The drop-down
box printer (the Eagle default) is a B-Size printer; the default is my
office laser. Sure enough, all my printouts are letter-sized on my B-sized
printer. I believe there's a post in eagle.betatest that indicates this
might be a bug with QT and CUPS, and will be fixed in 5.1. Is this
confirmed, and any idea when 5.1 will be out?
2) The other issue I have is that no matter whether I print to a printer or
to PDF, the font sizes are tiny. Like, I need a magnifying glass to read
them. On screen the fonts are fine. A temporary workaround is to set the
fonts in Eagle to 'Always Vector Font' and 'Persistent', but then the PDFs
I create are not searchable. Is this another bug related to QT and CUPS and
the Eagle implementation thereof (no other app on this system has these
printing issues), or is there something else going on? I've tried
everything I've found on a search for 'font' in these groups: removed
~/.config/Trolltech.conf, checked DPI (95x95), tried various other fonts as
my default system font, etc. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks.
