No, I mean in the finished pdf. It used to do something strange which meant the text ended up looking like the font was really badly hinted or something.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

not much help if your on slacko ; -)
In the pdfshuffler sub folder from here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing there's a version of pdfshuffler that works ok under Slacko 5.3.3 (all in a single SFS). poppler (PDF rendering) pet may also be required (also in that directory), but I personally found that not necessary if you have evince (pdf viewer) installed (and poppler seems to cause conflicts/problems if its loaded in addition to evince).
Here ya go then.

This works great on slacko-5.7

The help document to get you started.

Works on Slacko 5.3.3 also. Just had to :

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libpoppler-glib.so.6.0.0. libpoppler-glib.so.8

as it needs libpoppler-glib.so.8 to run

Thanks Smokey

The evince part of the image is the finished pdf file, looks ok to me.

Hmmm. I was assuming your screenshot was scaled down. I just tested the latest version and it does still do it, although you might not be able to tell the difference with the rubbish font rendering in evince and in Puppy by default. Or maybe it only occurs with some fonts - I'm looking at Calibri...
