      When printing (using PDFCreator as a printer) an html page containing text from QWebView to PDF file the resulting PDF contains an image of the text in the html page. Because the text is not text, but an image, it cannot be selected or copied (tried with Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro). This is reproducible in Windows 7, but not in Ubuntu 12.04. This is regression as the problem is not reproducible in 4.8.5.

      Attached is the modified Qt Example 'previewer', which reproduces the problem. Just choose 'print' from the menu and print to file. Attached is also the resulting pdf file.
