+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #138073 +++ Description of problem: When printing a mail with indic text from evolution, the indic text is printed with the bold font, regardless of the onscreen formatting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgnomeprint22-2.8.0-2 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compose a mail in evolution with indic 2. print mail to ps file 3. Actual results: all indic text is printed in bold face Expected results: printing should use regular face Additional info: - This was tested with gujarati and hindi text. - The bold lohit font is not yet included in CVS - its available from: http://bob.brisbane.redhat.com/~jnansi/pkgs/ - I have also tested by formatting part of the text as bold, italics, etc. In all cases, the printed output allways uses the bold face.
Created attachment 115540 [details] fixed font try with this replacement Bold font for Lohit Hindi, if it works which I believe it will, see rh#138189#
on the latest fonts-indic packages, it looks like working now. but without emboldening even if the bold style is chosen, due to Bug#171693. closing.
