Bug 143563 – Print under windows is scaled down on top of page, very small font

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Mikkel Kruse Johnsen]

When trying to print on Windows I get Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error

This is Webkitgtk3 2.2.8 (From Fedora 21 mingw32-webkitgtk3-2.2.8 and with mingw32-gtk-3.14.10)

I just read that Webkitgtk 2.8 is not about to come to Windows. So I really need to resolve this bug, so I can print under Windows with 2.2 (2.4), please could someone help.

Show size on print

Just updated to Gtk 3.16 and that seems to have resolved the problem with Runtime Error, when printing under Windows. 

My problem is now that the page is scaled down to very small size in the top of the page. See attached screenshot.

Just update to Webkitgtk-2.4.9 (Gtk3)  on Windows 8.1. It's the same problem.

This patch scales the content so it is correct on Windows.

I finally found a way to scale the output.

I am not 100% sure why I need to divide by 100. But it works.

This is the right patch. It needs to scale the page down to the size of the paper.

It now makes sense, dividing with 96 which is the standard DPI, but not on windows.
