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

Status in fonts-android package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in fonts-android package in Debian:
  Unknown

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.
