Description Ecmel Ercan 2001-09-12 10:46:02 UTC 
Gnome Print cannot handle ISO-8859-9 (Turkish) encoded fonts.
Instead of ISO-8859-9 specific chars, Gnome-Print displays and prints
garbage chars.

All my ISO-8859-9 encoded fonts are both available to X and Ghostscript.
Comment 1 Lauris Kaplinski 2001-09-13 16:18:55 UTC 
You need to specify gnome-print version, which application(s)
you are trying to print from, and fonts you are using (preferrably
download link).
It probably is not bug in gnome-print font handling, but instead
either in fonts themselves (invalid glyph names), or applications
(not transcoding to unicode before printing).
Comment 2 Ecmel Ercan 2001-10-28 00:08:10 UTC 
Ok, here it goes:

1. Gnome-print version 0.31
2. Standart free URW fonts.
3. Evolution, gnumeric, abiword, gnucash (latest versions as of today)

I can see the fonts on the screen but they are printed and
print-previewed as boxes. (I know they include ISO-8859-9 glphyes)

My locale settings:

LANG=tr_TR.ISO-8859-9
LC_CTYPE="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_NUMERIC="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_TIME="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_COLLATE="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_MONETARY="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US
LC_PAPER="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_NAME="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_ADDRESS="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_TELEPHONE="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_MEASUREMENT="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="tr_TR.ISO-8859-9"
LC_ALL=

This locale is set by Gnome login when I chosed Turkish from gdm. I
only changed LC_MESSAGES

Was using wrong fontmap file.  So this is not a problem.
Sorry for taking time.
