Print Spacing Problem Question
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 7 January, 2005 - 18:03
Whenever I print out a document that exceeds 100 characters per line, the characters greater than 100 overwrite the previous characters starting around the 93rd character. This happens when I use Monospace 9 point. If I change the print font to Monospace 8 point, then the characters greater than 100 start printing about a half inch past the 100th character. If I turn on the "Print Spacing Workaround", the printout looks good, but the spool file is huge (30 Mb) and printing a 30 page document takes a long long time (It's much quicker for me to open another editor just to do the printing).

I know similar messages have been posted in the Mailing Lists, but I have a some questions not answered there:

1) Have other people seen this same problem? or is it my setup (Windows XP, JRE 1.4.2) How do you print wide documents?

2) What is special about 100 characters? Is this a Java limitations or JEDIT? Can this be set greater than 132 (or some larger number)?

3) If this is a Java bug, is there any hope of a resolution besides the workaround?

Thanks in advance, and even with the above problem, JEDIT is still one of the best around.

Never mind. I found it in the 4.2final version history.

I'm now using JEdit for my xml and sql files. LOVE IT! But I'm having the exact same problem as JN... characters overwriting. JN mentioned a "Print Spacing Workaround." What is this? Or does anyone have a better suggestion? Thanks!
