Bug#712015: cups-filters: cups-pdf produces ugly pdfs through its pixelated font
Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.34-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I oftenly use 'ps-print' within emacs to print some souce code into
PDF. And it works great.
After a recent system update, the generated PDFs use some kind of
unclear fonts, and very hard to read.
I open the generated PDFs with xpdf, and get an error message
repeatly in the command line: "error: bad bounding box in type 3 glyph"
I googled and found cups-pdf/cups-filters is blamed. Seems the
pdf2pdf/pdf2ps filters work incorrectly.
I tried copy a /usr/lib/cups/filter directory from another
Debian/wheezy system to replace my current Debian/sid one. But it
didn't work.
