Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.6.1-22
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since upgrading to Debian 9, CUPS-PDF produces an ugly and hard to read output.
Obviously because it doesn't anymore embeds vector fonts but only Type 3 bitmap
fonts.

Setting PDFVer to 1.5 in cups-pdf.conf didn't help.

Is there a setting to make cups-pdf switching back to vector fonts again?

This was much better in earlier Debian releases.

Using "Print to file" results in an much better readable PDF output. See
attached Image.

Best regards
  Wolf-Dieter

I notice that this bug was filed ages ago against CUPS-PDF 2.6.1-22
which dates back from 2016.

All newer Debian releases ship with some 3.0.1 package.

Additionally, the submitter was pinged about this bug report in 2018
and hasn't responded.

I am thus closing this bug. Feel free to re-open it if the issue still
applies to current packages.
