------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Oct 26 02:26:35 +0000 2009 ------- Hi, I'm a member of OpenPrinting, the standardize organization of *nix printing. Printing-Japan ML is our discussion ML in Japanese. I'll roughly translate the e-mail henrich_d attached. This e-mail is written by Koji Otani, implementer of the PDF workflow. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OOo make wrong PS data with embedded font, but this problem caused only in PDF workflow. (Translator Remark: PDF workflow is OpenPrinting's new printer workflow. Final goal is all of applications creates PDF instead of PS, and CUPS filters handles PDF, because PDF is light, Page-oriented, any other good feature from printing point of view. Currently, some distribution, especially Debian Lenny (or later) and Ubuntu 8.10 (or later) have supported this workflow) Problem 1. ========== OpenOffice.org has wrong login when it creates PS with embedded fonts. In this case, OOo embed Type 42 (Truetype) fonts, however, some glyphs of unprinterble characters (e.g. 「ご」 of IPA P Gothic) put with GID == 0 (for .notdef glyph only). This output is wrong. And also Encoding is wrong. For example, when 「ご」is assigned in code == 1, Encoding[1] should be related glyph name (glyph1), but OOo put the name to Encoding[0]. Encoding[1] leave as .notdef. Problem 2. ========== Ghostscript can proceed that kind wrong PS (maybe it's a kind of bug). ( code --> .notdef --> GID==0) So we have no problem without PDF workflow. In the PDF workflow, PS data with problem 1 translated to PDF by Ghostscript without any changes about font feature, then the PDF translated to PS. In this process, this issue caused. PDF workflow is need newer CUPS, so this issue depends on the CUPS version. And we only have the problem in Debian Lenny (or later) / Ubuntu 8.10 (or later), that's why only the two distros supports PDF workflow now. ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
