@pl: general design problem confirmed, of course We need a virtual device (on X implemented using a Pixmap) to render the transparent parts into a single bitmap which then can be printed. We'd need a new implementation of virtual device using a local framebuffer to work around that. This may even be useful in other situations, too, but I cannot promise when anyone comes around to implementing this. Actually, that is what I figured. It was probably far easier (and faster) at the time to just render on the Xserver, since that was available and working. Thin clients are nothing new, yet certainly not going away. Hopefully, one day it can be fixed. There might already be methods for doing this in other *ix applications... but I am not well versed in that area, so I can't know, either way. Thanks for "listening" :) Reset assignee on issues not touched by assignee in more than 2000 days. |
