[Bug 647086] Re: Weird characters when printing using font Gentium

 

I've moved to Fedora, so I can't check, but you have all the details to
reproduce on the other report. You just need to create a text document,
and use the Gentium font. The PS file sent to CUPS will be corrupt, and
some printers (in my case, a HP Laserjet 1100) won't print it correctly
(see Timm's comment).

Title:
  Weird characters when printing using font Gentium

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Printing a basic text in the Gentium font gives strange results: all
  spaces are replaced by 'â', and 'o' letters are replaced by 'q'.
  Exporting to PDF and PS works fine, and printing these files gives
  correct results too.

  This is very close to what bug 376953 described (apostrophes not
  printed, but PDF and PS export working when using Gentium). But it was
  fixed upstream somewhere in the 3.2 series (with ooo32gsl09 at least).

  I'm attaching a simple testcase PS file, since they were also wrong
  even if they were printed correctly in the other bug, according to
  Till Kamppeter (see the other report).
