Hi Jean-Sebastien, and thanks for your report. We are using the Debian
version of fonts-roboto (which is built from the fonts-android source
package), so it would be great if you also could file a bug report
against fonts-android in Debian's bug tracker, and post a link to that
bug here.

Title:
  Roboto fonts make printer crash (fonts-android)

Status in fonts-android package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As per https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38383, there
  has been issues with the Roboto font family regarding printing. These
  issues seem to have been resolved in the new version of the fonts made
  available by Google in 2014 here
  http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html.

  My setup:

  1) Release: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  2) Package: fonts-roboto 1:4.3-3ubuntu1.1
  3) Expected Results: When using Roboto fonts in a document (pdf, odf, etc.), I should be able to print the document.
  4) Current Results: Roboto fonts make the printer crash instead of printing. The printer I am using is a HP-Laser Jet P2055. 

  Steps to reproduce:

  Install "fonts-roboto" package from Ubuntu Software Center. Produce a
  document in Libre Office with Roboto font and send to printer. Printer
  is crashing, need hard reboot.

  Workaround:

  (1) Remove "fonts-roboto" package from Ubuntu Software Center. 
  (2) Download new version of the fonts made available by Google and save them in the ".fonts" folder in "home" directory.
  (3) Produce a new document with Roboto font and send to printer.
  (4) Document is printing.

  Basically, I think this package just need to be updated to use the
  latest fonts issued by Google.
