Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-12-12 04:36:50 UTC 
This bug was originally filed in Gnumeric:

Any text in Helvetica, or Times, New Century Schoolbook, etc (on first glance
these seem to be the normally preinstalled fonts) does not print (and doesn't
show in the print preview either).

This includes any string in which as little as one character is in these fonts.

Since the fonts involved are the most likely fonts used in business, I am
raising the severity of this bug to critical.

THis turns out to be a bug related to gtk printing, specifically the use of pango_cairo_show_layout

I will be appending example gtk code.

sample gtk code

I have attached a sample gtk file that should print or show in the print
preview two lines of text. The upper one in Sans, the lower one in Helvetica.
The lower one does not show.

In the sample code there is a commented-out block of lines below the 
pango_cairo_show_layout that would stroke and file the text. If you enable that
block and remove the pango_cairo_show_layout, one sees how the page should look
like!
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-12-12 04:41:39 UTC 
Oh, I filed this bug against gtk+ rather than pango since I have no evidence that pango_cairo_sow_layout doesn't work correctly. The problem may be in the packaging into the pdf files or something else in teh responsibility of gtk.

Thanks.  One bug number per bug is enough.

Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-12-12 10:01:38 UTC 
503212 is about a related bug in pango. What is the other gtk+ bug number representing this?
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-12-12 15:15:03 UTC 
There's no Gtk+ bug.  It's either a Pango or cairo issue.
