SYMPTOMS

When you preview a Web page for printing, the previewed text may not look the same as it does on the Web page in the browser.

CAUSE

To scale properly, Internet Explorer 5.5 supports the use of only TrueType fonts for previewing. If the Web page uses a fixed font, the text may appear different when you view it in the browser and when you preview it.

The text may also look different when you preview the page if your printer does not support the font that is used.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
