[Kbarcode] Text is messed up in the label maker

[G.W. <mol...@gm...>]

Wondering if I could get a little help with this? There's a few things I 
don't get. Like the text that I want to add to a label, I get it all set 
up and it looks right, even in the preview it looks right. Then I print 
it, and the text is a different size, no longer centered, and the tiny 
words are spaced out half an inch from eachother.

The top image in this link is what it looks like in preview, the bottom 
is the same image printed. The text is messed up in this same way if I 
print it to a postscript or PDF file, as well.

Another text problem I found was that when inserting text and hitting 
return to start a new line, it does not show up as a new line when it's 
displayed on the label.

Additionally, if I select Print to Image from the File menu, I get an 
error after typing in the name of the file I want to save it as. It acts 
as if it tries to execute the filename as a command instead of saving it 
as an image with that filename, note this error message after an attempt 
at doing this:
"Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder 
file:///home/sunrise/New Folder_1/test.pbm does not exist."

I'm on Kubuntu Hardy, running KDE 3.5.9

Hi,

Sorry for the late answer. Which version of KBarcode do you use?

The issue with the different text size during print was fixed in version 2.0.7 
as far as I know. The new line problem should also be fixed in this version.

I will look into the image saving issue. Thanks for reporting!

best regards,
	Dom

PS: Nice labels that you are designing using KBarcode. Thanks for using our 
software!
