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

Status in fonts-android package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fonts-android source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in fonts-android package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  trusty SRU request
  ==================

  [Impact]

  When using Roboto fonts (the fonts-roboto package), printing fails
  with some printers. This has been fixed in later versions, so this
  proposed upload installs Roboto fonts from fonts-android 4.4.4r2
  instead of 4.3. Unlike fonts-droid, fonts-roboto is not a seeded
  package, so while it's an annoying bug for those affected, this fix
  only affects those who explicitly install and use fonts-roboto.

  [Test Case]

  * Package: fonts-roboto 1:4.3-3ubuntu1.1

  * Expected Results: When using Roboto fonts in a document (pdf, odf,
    etc.), I should be able to print the document.

  * Current Results: Roboto fonts make the printer crash instead of
    printing. The printer I am using is a HP-Laser Jet P2055.

  [Regression Potential]

  Low.

  [Original 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.
