Created attachment 8379642
HTML page that makes use of a @font-face font, demonstrating that bold text is shown in print-previews but is normal weight in PDFs.

I think this is the bug I'm seeing in Firefox 27.0 for Linux.

The attached HTML page uses a single-weight CSS @font-face font sourced
from Google Fonts. The second row of text, set "font-weight: bold",
displays bold, print-previews bold, but prints normal weight.

Google Chrome prints the bold text correctly.

Bug description:
  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
