Dear Maintainer,

we have to print out any of our mails. Currently the printouts were not in a good shape
(Text partly missing, unintended linefeeds).
This happens on Virtual-PDF Printers an physical attached HP Officejet Pro 8600

After fiddling around for a while i found a way to correct this problem.
Setting an other type than monospace in the Settings for View/Printout e.g. to Arial
solves the problem.

I canÂt figure out if this problem ist related only to claws-mal, or even to cups or
anything else.

The problem is reproducable here on two machines. Maybe anyone else can reproduce it?

OT: Printed Mails from Claws-Mail are not so beautifull and muttprint is not so easy.
Perhaps anything planned in the future?

Hi,

Just tested here printing to PDF and they're printed as seen on Claws Mail
message view, nothing strange. Without an actual example I can't say more.

Try to launch it with an english locale to get the exact names, e.g.:
Run “env LC_MESSAGES=C /usr/bin/claws-mail” in a terminal.

Well, I can't, so I'd say is some misconfiguration of your printing subsystem,
not a Claws Mail issue.

regards,
