Bug#381386: gs-esp: doesn't render accents in accented polish letters using truetype fonts
Package: gs-esp
Version: 8.15.2.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important
I've observed it when I've tried to print document from OpenOffice Writer
with Arial font using CUPS Kyocera FS-1000 Foomatic/pxlmono backend.
Using 600 DPI quality, only two letters (small and big slashed L) has been
printed. Later I've tried to change backend to CUPS+Gutenprint also in
600 DPI and result was the same, but in 150 DPI accented small letter e was
printed additionally - letters 'a c s z' still didn't have their accents.
Next I've exported document to pdf and tried to print from kpdf - no luck
also - on screen everything looks ok, but on paper fails. So I've checked
what happens when importing pdf version to GIMP using 600 DPI and final
picture was without accents. Next I've checked other fonts in document
FreeSans and FreeSerif - didn't helped - same error. So finally I've
downgraded 8.15.1.dfsg.1-2 from 'testing' and with this version everything
works fine.
