  • Linux

Problem  

Change Request Number: 6239307 and 6218079

3.1.2 Modifier Keys Do Not Function Correctly

Platform 

  • Solaris OS for SPARC systems

  • Solaris OS for x86 systems

Problem  

Change Request Number: 4996542 

The Alt key and Shift key might not function as modifier keys when you use the Internet/Intranet input method.

You might not be able to make a selection in a text using the Shift+arrow key combination. Latin characters might be inserted instead.

The postscript printer does not bundle Chinese or Korean fonts, consequently characters printed out from Mozilla are printed in a box. CUPS needs to convert the Mozilla postscript fonts before the file can be printed.

Solution  

  1. Choose Launch -> Preferences -> Printers.

  2. Right-click the PostScript printer icon, then select the Properties menu.

  3. Open the Advanced tab.
