Description David Dempster 2008-06-24 15:01:15 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Using the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", which is a virtual printer on Windows XP, I can "print" any printable thing to an XPS file instead of to a printer.  On Linux I can do the same with PS and PDF.

Okular is not able to open the XPS files I generate from Windows XP.  I imagine it can't view any XPS files.  Blank pages are displayed.  There are no error messages.

Presumably the problem is in the XPS backend by Brad Hards and Jiri Klement.

I'll attach an XPS of the http://kde.org home page.

The XPS backend does work for some files, just has serious font problems.

Perhaps we should disable/remove it?
