Bug#784562: iceweasel: selecting dreadful fonts for printing

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.6.0esr-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Even with -safe-mode Iceweasel shows fonts just fine in the window
but, when I print, it instead selects something barely legible, as
if it were aiming for the tiniest bitmap font or somesuch. How to
have it select something more sensible? Will attach example of
print-to-file.

Printing from Chromium instead, or other applications, works fine.

Cheers,

Mark
