Sorry for the delay. My "screenshot" bot just runs a headless firefox with --screenshot (or whatever the command is) - so it loads the website as firefox and tries to take a full page screenshot. This is limited by timeouts, so if a site is getting slashdotted/whatever, it may fail. However, i am able to take a partial screenshot after the page is loaded on a regular firefox[0], which shows the exact same missing text as i mentioned a week ago, even this morning.

I'm nearly positive it doesn't have anything to do with your site, even though the page weighs in at at least 19000KB as a .png. I'm weird, i think .png (or even .gif/.jpg) full page renders are functionally equivalent to a "print to pdf" except more useful.

Sorry i sort of derided your efforts. My parents bought me a Sega master system rather than a nintendo, and the past year has me worn out on the "6502-era" systems.

Many spring tidings!
