The problem didn't exhibit itself on my other system. I have discovered
that this is because of the fonts I had already selected for printing in
the HTML viewing section of control panel. I do no see blank text using
Arial and Courier New.
By selecting Arial and Courier New for printing on this system I was
able to overcome the blank text problem.
Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

Hi
Recently I have been unable to print in gnumeric. It just gives blank
output, in the preview, and in the postscript output. Balsa, which also
uses libgnomeprint just segfaults if I try to print something.
In both gnumeric, and balsa, I get a whole bunch of the flowwing errors
to stdout:
** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 572: Face Helvetica: Cannot
load face
** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 609 (gff_load): assertion
`ft_result == FT_Err_Ok' failed.

I am running mostly woody, with a bit of sid. My gnome packages are
from woody though, except that I installed gnumeric and libgnomeprint15
from sid to see if it helps. Sam problem though. Distributions recent
as of about 2 days ago.
Any ideas? Should I file a bug?
Thanks
Neilen
Yes there is a bug. I have reproduced the same problem. Change the font
from Helvetica to Arial and print preview/printing starts working again
from Gnumeric.
Which packages are at fault people? libgnomeprint?
