hi.

when using the DejaVu font, which is the "standard" font delivered with os4, the characters "st" are displayed (and printed!) strange.

see a screengrab here:

i also had a case where the complete line after the "st" was ignored when printing - i think including the "st" acually.

Hi,
What you are seeing is an ST ligature and is a "feature" of the font. You can disable the character substitution by turning ligatures off. The encoding issue that is fixed in 5.0.4.4 will fix the printing of this to PostScript. Yes, that update is coming soon Smile

I attached the file in question so you can take it down anytime you want.
