Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.
TDE: R14.0.10 - Debian: 10.10 (amd64)
Since installing Debian, I've had some issues
printing PDF's, in that
the resulting printout doesn't look exactly like the PDF. This could be
due to the fonts installed with Debian, where they are possibly not the
same or ideal fonts for PDF's.
In addition to KPDF (which installed with TDE), I tried:
* KGhostView
* evince
* qpdfview
* Okular
* GIMP
* LibreOffice Draw
* Firefox
None of these printed the PDF as expected.
I haven't tested printing PDF from TDE yet. Whenever I had trouble in
the past with PDF (both viewing and printing) I needed to install the
MS truetype fonts. In openSUSE there is a package for that:
fetchmsttfonts | Helper package to run the fetchmsttfonts script
So I will be uninstalling all of the above,
except for KPDF (so as
not to cause any potential issues with TDE), LibreOffice Draw and
Firefox.
Why do you think they may cause an issue with TDE? I have tons of
programs installed from outside TDE including from other desktop
environments. I believe it is the advantage in Linux that everything
is modular and you can have different things running or installed at
the same time (unless there are file conflicts, but the installer at
least in openSUSE warns you about it).
