------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Nov 11 20:07:21 +0000 2009 ------- When printing documents some letters for certain fonts are omitted. The issue was experienced when printing from Writer and Calc. Russian capital letter “Short I”, U+0419 is omitting when occurred with following fonts: Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman. Russian small letter “Be”, U+0431 is omitting when occurred with DejaVu Sans. The issue lead to corrupted parer printout. Printout depends on version of cups using, it can look, as a space instead of the letter omitted or letter is omitted without any space and some space is inserted further in text shifting a symbol in place partially over the next one. The issue remains when printing into PDF via cups-pdf. PDF document generated this way looks the same as paper printout described above. The issue doesn't appear when document is exported to PDF first, then PDF document is printed. This is the only way found to bypass the issue. Attached zip contains: mistyped-fonts.odt initial document that contains samples with letters and fonts in subject. All paragraphs (lines) are the same text containing U+0431 at 4th position (counting from 1) and U+0419 at 20th position. There are 4 paragraphs per font, with different font styles: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. Last 4 paragraphs are in Microsoft Verdana font that has no signs of the issue, those are given as sample; mistyped-fonts.pdf pdf “printout”, generated by cups-pdf; mistyped-fonts.ps “Print into file” output; mistyped-fonts-exported.pdf export into PDF output, clean against the issue, as it was noted above. I tried to analyze postscript file that is saved when “Print into file” is checked. As I can see, there is no glyphs defined in the file for the letters that will be omitted when printing. For example, for ArialMTFID33HGSet2, there is no glyph set for “Encoding 14” (that corresponds to U+0419, 0x0E in the output later in file). The VerdanaFID59HGSet2 has “Encoding 14” glyph defined and is Verdana is printed out correctly. Environment: OS: Kubuntu 9.04 OOo: OOO310m19. Build 9420. DejaVu Sans font from OS distribution, also latest version from dejavu- Microsoft TTF fonts concerned were installed by “msttcorefonts” package that downloads them from sourceforge.net. The issue is very serious for Russian-speaking users, especially for not a lot IT-experienced office-sitter users in Belarus and Russia where the majority of the state institutions as well as many private companies use Microsoft document formats and their fonts as standards, issuing such documents outside and expecting or even requiring them on entry. Given such a document received, user may print it out and use further officially even not knowing that printout contains letters omitted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
