Description Leon Ho 2004-11-03 04:27:51 UTC 
Currently libgnomeprint supports TTF font, with opentype table format.
If user is going to use a OTF/CFF font format on their system, they can able to
use it to render on the screen, but it will fail on printing

Steps of reproduce:
1. Install OTF/CFF font
2. gedit
3. type something in Hindi
4. Preference, change the new font for rendering and printing
5. Displays ok
6. File -> Print does not print out properly

There also exist western OTF/CFF fonts and libgnomeprint have not support for
them. Moreover Type 1 fonts are now considered as outdated and OTF/CFF fonts
should be used instead.
Comment 2 Andrey Panov 2007-03-15 01:14:15 UTC 
Gtk 2.10 has GtkPrintOperation widget which can print otf/cff files using cairo 1.4. Why libgnomeprint(ui)-2.18 do not use it?
Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2009-05-16 10:50:15 UTC 
Sounds like this was fixed by the printing components in gtk+
