[Bug 1832222] Re: using aakar font reboots printer
I re-tested in preparation for submitting the bug to Debian, and the problem has disappeared. Something has changed in the 10 months since my report, the package is still Version: 1.0-6ubuntu0.1, but plenty of other packages on the system have been updated. As there is no way of reproducing and investigating the root cause, I'm marking it as Invalid. ** Changed in: fonts-gujr-extra (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to fonts-gujr-extra in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: using aakar font reboots printer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-gujr-extra/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1832222] Re: using aakar font reboots printer
Because the Aakar font is part of the fonts-gujr-extra package. To re-phrase the problem: On certain text input, the Aakar font emits a reset command to the printer. In contrast, other non-Latin fonts (e.g. STZhongsong) when presented with Latin characters gracefully degrade to a default Latin font. Alternatively, it could be replaced in the output by a "unknown character" symbol, there is even a Unicode code point for that: U+FFFD � REPLACEMENT CHARACTER used to replace an unknown, unrecognized or unrepresentable character. That would give a visible clue to the location of the user's mistake. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to fonts-gujr-extra in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: using aakar font reboots printer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-gujr-extra/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
