print to file: fonts problem in firefox


Hi,

I am running KDE and Firefox 1.04 in a FC3 machine.

I am trying to print a page from a site which uses some special ttf fonts. ( http://www.eenadu.net/ )

I have the fonts installed and so I can view the page without any issues.
However, when i try to print to a file the resulting ps file has junk in it.
Basically the result exactly as it would look if the ttf font had not been installed in
my machine. I don't have a printer and so I don't know if I printed this
directly if the printer would have done the same thing or not.

Why is it that ps file produced by firefox print command not have the correct
font information inspite of the fact that browser displays it correctly?
Is there something that I can do to fix this?

Also, is there a way to print directly to pdf without going through ps file and ps2pdf route?

thanks for all the help guys.
