[brlug-general] Printing in Linux

[Joe Fruchey]

My wife teaches high school English. I make her vocabulary tests for her.

At first, I used Word, only because that's what she uses.

Then I started using OOo/Win32 when I discovered that CTRL-Up/Down
re-orders lists (NICE for matching tests).

Last night, I opened up one of the ODT files on my laptop (Ubuntu),
changed it, and printed it, and the page that came out of the printer
was very different from the ones that were printed under Windows. The
font was Palatino Linotype, which I have installed on my laptop. The
main differences were in the bold text, so I thought that maybe I
didn't have Palatino Bold installed, so it was using a faux bold, but
then I noticed that there were subtle differences in the normal-weight
text as well.

Same document, same program, same printer... only difference is the
OS. What gives?

Thanks,

Joe
