Description ased 2006-01-12 07:47:07 UTC 
While printing to PDF is fine but PS produces very big fonts, all scaled up. I'd
tried to play with "default-printer-resolution" from 300 to 600 but it was even
worse. Printing to any real printer was the same as to PS.

xprint version: 0.1.0.aplha1-13 (Debian package)
Locales was default 'C'.
System Debian unstable.
Spooler cups.
PS header:
 %%Creator: The X Print Server's PostScript DDX (xprint.mozdev.org, release
100000, FreeType version 0.0.0)

Testing commands:
PS printing
> xphelloworld -printer xp_ps_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs -text Hello
PDF printing
> xphelloworld -printer xp_pdf_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs -text Hello

Font size in output postscript file for 300 DPI
/AvantGarde-DemiOblique 75 t Tf
and for 600DPI
/AvantGarde-DemiOblique 150 t Tf

Output from 'xplsprinters -l' was as follow for PS:
printer: xp_ps_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs@:64
        description=PostScript job spool dir $HOME/Xprintjobs
        model-identifier=PSspooldir

Closing WONTFIX because nobody cares about Xprint. Reopen if you plan to address this bug.
