Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu 9.10,  firefox 3.5.3 is unable to print bold Chinese sans
characters.

Steps to duplicate:
1. if you set desktop language to Chinese, ttf-wqy-zenhei will be automatically installed as the default Sans Serif font, if you use other languages, simply install ttf-wqy-zenhei via atp-get first

2. in firefox, select Edit\Preference\Content\Font & Color, select the
default font as "sans-serif"

3. browse any Chinese web page with bold face, for example
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/

4. print page

Expected results:
the emboldened titles shall be printed in bold face

Actual results:
both the titles and text are printed with the same weight. English bold characters look fine on the print though.
Bold Chinese characters prints ok with OpenOffice 3.1.1
