Printing problems

Hello,

when printing we have these issues:

  1. if using a text_area or rtf_area setting the alignment has no effect. These field types always are left aligned
  2. right-align seems to be problematic in general. If we use this on normal text fields, it displays correctly in print preview but on paper some text is cut off at the right side. This only happens on Windows and differs with the font used.

Thanks for having a look!

  1. Correct, text_area will only right-align in arabic or hebrew, in rtf_area and html_area the document contents will define alignment
  2. This is a Java 1.4.x problem which is fixed in Java 1.5.x, in the mean time set right indent in rtf from ri0 to ri220 (with utils.stringReplace(…) in rtf content)

Complete different question:

Jan, can you tell us, what are the major changes/improvements of java 1.5?

They are all listed on the java.sun.com somewhere.
