Text fonts are different from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

We are migrating to a new server from RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.10 to RHEL 6.3. Our application prints forms. the issue is that in the new RHEL 6.3 systems, the CUPS fonts bolder and larger. When you print from RHEL 5.10 they line-up well, and the font is good size. But the same file from RHEL 6.3 looks horrible, and not lined up well.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.10 -> 6.3
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.3.7 -> 1.4.2
