To easily reproduce the problem do wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21294491/d00022-001 pdftops -level3 -paper A4 d00022-001 > l3.ps pdftops -level2 -paper A4 d00022-001 > l2.ps pdftops -level2 -noembtt -paper A4 d00022-001 > l2noembtt.ps
Then send the files unfiltered to a PostScript printer from HP. Ghostscript displays all files correctly on the screen. The two "-level2" calls give the same output, so the problem is not the font embedding, but the difference in PostScript Level 2 and Level 3 output of pdftops. The Level 3 output (l3.ps) shows the problem, the Level 2 output (l2*.ps) not. The real fix would be to fix Poppler, a workaround would be to patch the pdftops CUPS filter to never call the Poppler pdftops with "-level3". -- hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
