I currently use the HL2040 and as long as you set it not to use fast system fonts (and set system fonts only) it works fine. By the way this doesn't mean you are stuck with one font when printing, rather that it uses the font used by the application - Open Office, Firefox etc. Cheers/2 Ed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:16:58 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: BitTorrent client in the browser Hi, I just read an article on the site www.bitlet dot org. They have a java applet based bittorent client that "ought" to run in Firefox. Unfortunately it stick at the point of starting the Java virtual Machine. Can someone else try this and let me know if this is a general OS/2 Firefox / Java 1.42 problem or whether it may simply be my setup ? Java shows as available as a plugin when I do about:plugins. You will need the URL or a Torrent file to test this link - here's a BIG one - that you cancel if the transfer starts: http://www.torrentportal dot com/download/1549793/Leopard+GM+9a581+Patched+for+Intel+PCs+%28SSE3+ONLY%29+and+Patch.torrent Thanks Cheers/2 Ed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 13:50:37 +1100 From: Ken Laurie Subject: Re: BitTorrent client in the browser Hi Ed I gave it a go and ended up with the same problem of being stuck at loading the virtual machine. I tried turning off java in the options to see what would happen. It came back with not having a java plugin and then stalled at the loading of the virtual machine again. It might be their code as I would not have expected it to try and load the JVM if it was not available. regards Ken Ed Durrant wrote: > Hi, I just read an article on the site www.bitlet dot org.
