Re: [Sheflug] Re: KWord printing

[Keith Powell <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Richard, Craig, and anyone else who is interested!

I have just started doing some experiments.

I installed SuSE7.1 on a spare hard drive and then updated it to KDE2.1.1.

KWord works as it should. All the screen fonts are there correctly and it 
prints correctly. 

I'll work slowly from there and see if I can find out what has changed 
between the versions. Unless anyone has any ideas to speed things up?

Cheers

Keith
