- We have fixed a few of the easier to fix printing problems already (we
- no longer put spaces in our translated font names so it is possible to
- map them) and we'll try to fix a few more easily fixed things like the
- problem with fonts > 20pt you mention above, but other printing fixes

- presented by different OSes which means that it makes more sense for
- us to improve the printing subsystem after we've cleaned up our code
- to better isolate OS dependent things.
