Describe the bug
As described by a student on EECS 485 Piazza @512: On Chrome 79 on MacOS Catalina, specs that contain any emphasized or italicized text print with garbled text. For example, the Primer Spec demo page prints as follows:

  • Version: 79.0.3945.88

Additional context
This is a Chromium bug (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1018581), and the fix became available in Chrome Canary on Jan. 22, 2020 (version 81.0.4036.0). The fix will take a few months to reach stable Chrome.

If this is affecting many students, it is possible to add a hotfix in Primer Spec — the fix would involve removing all italicized styles before printing. However, students can simply use another browser to print the spec for now.

Please post here if you think a workaround should be prioritized before the bug is fixed in Chrome.
