printing xy under linux

[Arthur Steinberg arthurs@xxxxxxxx]

i am running xydos 4.017 under linux (red hat ver. 5.2) in dosemu and seem to
have hit a snag printing. this has happened after a window manager was
changed, but i have now gone back to using the old window manager
under which i was previously able to print in xy.

i have tested xy out under windows nt and can get it to print
properly, which might lead one to believe that the problem is due to
linux. maybe.

under linux, it will print properly in xy if i use the default font (i.e. not
specifying any particular font), but when i specify garamond or
anything else it prints just a single line and then the rest of the
document is blank.

that single line begins with a Y (with an umlaut over it), below it it
says:

Y (umlaut)&18CY(umlaut)&11XY(umlaut)&d@Y(umlaut) and so on, then the
beginning of the first line of text, and then nothing.

does anyone know what's going on here?

perhaps a related problem is that when i go to the "print" window
"collate" and "simplex (one-sided)" are always checked, even if
i uncheck them. are these defaults?

thanks for your help.
