Re: GtkSource.PrintCompositor: How to possible printing plain text documents without lost blank lines and indentations?

[cecashon aol com]

Here is something else that might help. Try a monospace font to test with. If you use a monospace font then 
your spacing should be kept correct. If I draw a grid around the characters, monospace will hold the spacing 
to the 28x32 grid.
