Just want to try to reproduce it: Which version of geany are you using?

Work Desktop: -------------

$ geany --version geany 0.18 (built on Aug 17 2009 with GTK 2.14.7, GLib 2.18.4) $ uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.32-trunk-686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 06:32:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Work Notebook: -------------- $ geany --version geany 0.19 (built on Jun 12 2010 with GTK 2.20.1, GLib 2.24.1) $ uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.33-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 13 11:32:37 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

This happens when printing to paper, to file, or even in print preview. Below is my filetypes.cpp. Thanks for looking into it. As a quick fix, I replaced filetypes.d with /usr/share/geany/filetypes.d (since I dont program in D I can thence still enjoy approx. correct syntax highlighting in the printout), copy and paste to a new file, save it as printme.d and print from there. Additionally, I temporarily adjust the font size in Edit->Preferences->Interface, because the printing export does not pick up the reduced font size if I just zoom out via Ctrl+- in the editor.

Best, Paul

hi,

does anyone else have this problem: when printing from a dark background, each character has a dark background on the printout, too? any ideas for fixes other than changing color scheme?

Just want to try to reproduce it: Which version of geany are you using?

Thanks, Frank
