Bug 214493

Apparently the latest version is 2.12.1, which rawhide is using:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomeprint/

I guess we should either ping kmaraas etc to make a release or patch heavily
downstream.

I'll make a release today/this week

So, mclasen is telling me that the newly released libgnomeprint22 is in rawhide.
 Can we get that in FC6 too?

Roozbeh, can you test rawhide?

Roozbeh, ping.  Is this fixed in rawhide?
Akira is saying that it's not for Indic.

libgnomeprint22-2.12.1-9.fc6 which includes the patch from the GNOME bug
referenced in comment 1 is pushed to testing.

Well, it seems that the warning messages I saw was caused by another reason.
please see this log:

So weird things was from Pango. FYI

268437002 is 0x1000060a, which is a hexbox for the character U+060A.  Right, my
patch doesn't handle hexboxes I guess.  I can make it simply skip hexboxes if
that helps.

libgnomeprint22-2.12.1-9.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
