Bug ID: 153905
Summary: PDF files created with LibO print incorrectly to some
printers
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.1.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am experiencing a strange issue with LibO PDF export.
When I use certain fonts (and most notably Adobe Source Sans 3), the PDF files
produced by LibO can be displayed correctly on screen using various PDF readers
(e.g. Okular). However, when I send the PDF to the printer, many characters are
missing and replaced by a little square with a cross inside.
Can this be a problem with the subsetting of the font done for embedding?
Otherwise, it seems very similar to what used to happen with certain versions
of Distiller (see
https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/printing-problem-when-pdf-is-sent-to-the-printer-with-certain-fonts-missing-text/m-p/5673023).
Reporting the problem for 7.5.1.2, but the issue started way earlier.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the free Source Sans 3 font (from Adobe's github repo)
2. Create a presentation using text with the Source Sans 3 font.
3. Export to PDF
4. Print the PDF
Actual Results:
In multiple occasions (but not always) characters will be missing from the
printout.
Expected Results:
PDF should print well.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No
