This is keeping me from using evolution.  Mail received as plain text tends to
print ok, but mail that is formatted (html) always crashes evolution e-mail.
Comment 3 Simen Gaure 2002-10-31 22:37:52 UTC 
After some experimentation with different kinds of messages, I'm able
to print some html messages, but not all.

This bug has been filed at Ximian as
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33005
and at gnome as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97170

It seems unclear who's bug it is, but Ximian claims it's not theirs.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2002-10-31 22:48:39 UTC 
I'd agree that it looks like a gnome-print bug

A proposed patch for this bug for gnome-print-0.35-8
Comment 6 Simen Gaure 2002-11-01 20:59:14 UTC 
I have attached a diff between the original gnome-font-face.c and a working
one.  I don't have very good knowledge of the internal workings of libgnomeprint,
but it seems the problem is related to the usage of t1 fonts with less than
256 glyphs.  The author has been aware of the problem and has intended to fix it.

The diff is a one-line change consisting of removing the four letters 'lyph'.

If someone more knowledgeable about the bowels of libgnomeprint could verify
that the proposed patch fixes it, it would be fine. And the bug could be
resolved.
Comment 7 Simen Gaure 2002-11-05 12:29:34 UTC 
I've checked the sources and this particular bug has been fixed in 
gnome-print 0.36.
This is really a problem with the RedHat dist, which ships with gnome-print 0.35.
Comment 8 Need Real Name 2002-11-27 20:13:10 UTC 
FYI, Ximian has released gnome-print/libgnomeprint15 0.37 packages which fix
this problem.  We've gotten dozens of duplicate reports of this, most of which
are probably from users who are convinced that it's an Evolution bug and are
reporting it to Ximian rather than Red Hat despite the fact that they have no
Ximian packages installed.  It would be nice if fixed packages were available
from Red Hat, though.
Comment 9 Havoc Pennington 2002-12-13 19:15:21 UTC 
OK, marking for fixage in next release.
