From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: If I use, say Verdana, for a cell, it would not show even in print preview. If I use regular Helvetica or Nimbus Sans, it will show correctly in print preview, in ggv, but the postscript printer will subsitute the font with Courier. This does not happen if I use bold or italic. If I correct the postscript file with ps2ps, then it will work; so I assume it is not a problem with the printer. Besides, the same file worked file before I upgraded to 8.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the attached file 2.Go to +Print Preview; 3.Print on a postscript printer Actual Results: After step 2, the cells in Verdana disappear After step 3, the cells in Helvetica and Nimbus Sans (both regular) are substituted with Courier Expected Results: Every cell should have been printed as it appears on screen Additional info: Loadin the file, I get a lot of error message of the type: ** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 613 (gff_load): assertion `ft_result == FT_Err_Ok' failed. ** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 308: Face Verdana-Bold: Cannot load face
Created attachment 79764 [details] It shows the reported behaviour
If you use postscript printers and fonts outside the standard postscript set, using 'prerender postscript' in printconf is probably a good idea, exactly because it embeds the fonts in the postscript files.
gnumeric has been upgraded to a gnome-2 based version in Raw Hide, which uses a newer version of gnome-print. Trying to fix the old gnome-1 version of gnome-print isn't something that's very worthwhile at this point.
