printout with bold text
I can reproduce it on Tamil as well so i assume it affects all 5 Indic langs I cannot reproduce on this configuration: openoffice.org-1.1.2-16.6.EL4 ttfonts-hi-1.7-1 Note that I don't see the bold text onscreen, but I do see it in the printout. I may not have the bold fonts though. So either we fixed this along the way, or the bold font itself causes OOo to barf. Could somebody test this with the bold font on 1.1.2-16.6 or later? Ok, nevermind, its still a problem. Installing the bold font screws it up. It will require more investigation... Created attachment 115537 [details]

postscriptname dumper
Ok, the postscript name for the Lohit Hindi and Lohit Hindi Bold fonts is the same, it's Lohit-Hindi for the normal one, and should be Lohit-Hindi-Bold or something different for the other one. Presumably this is why rh#157914# is also a problem. Attached is a simple program to dump the postscript name of a ttf fontfile so as to double check the postscript name of other fonts. Also attached is the Lohit_Hindi_Bold ttf file, except with it's postscript name hacked to be Lohit-Hindb. If you replace your system original with the above copy, and then remove OOo's cache of fonts of ~/.rhopenoffice/user/psprint/pspfontcache/~.openoffice.org2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache and try again you should get the correct postscript as attached. so it's really a problem of the font IMO *** Bug 157915 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thanks for your effort Caolan! I have tested it against OOo and evolution and it should be as you said - a font problem as the postscript name on normal and bold weight are the same. I have already sent the request to the font vendors to get the official change. This is good to be in, however I cannot ACK it unless we have tested all those 'fixed' bold fonts for all tier-1 applications. Font vendor has not give us the update bold fonts with all those fixed mentioned above. It is a risk if they are included. Moving to RHEL4U3Proposed. |
