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.

The issue is very probably fixed in cups-pdf (3.0.1-3).

Thank you for your report.
