Public bug reported:
bannertopdf in cups-filters can't handle Japanese character because it
always select non-Japanese fontset; so if we use Japanese as a printer
location (or description?) in system-config-printer (and might be GNOME3
printer setting in Saucy), the result of test print is incorrect.
How to reproduce:
1. Install cups-pdf package to use CUPS-PDF printer
2. Create two printer queue with CUPS-PDF
A) printer name: CUPS-PDF
description: English CUPS PDF
location: my-machine
B) printer name: CUPS-PDF-with-JPN
description: 日本語のCUPS PDF
location: 私のマシン
We'll repeat following operation from 2 to 8 with printer A) and B).
2. Stop cups spooler by cupsdisable
3. Do test print in system-config-printer
4. Check spool file (it might be a pdf banner file; totally same result)
$ sudo cat /var/spool/cups/d00016-001
#PDF-BANNER
Template default-testpage.pdf
Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model
printer-driver-name printer-driver-version paper-size imageable-area job-id
options time-at-creation time-at-processing
# Check that we have printer-location
5. Restart cups spooler by cupsenable
6. Check the %HOME%/PDF directory. You can see Test_Page.pdf (attached as
_EN.pdf and _JA.pdf).
7. Check rendering result using Evince (screen capture is attached below).
In case of printer B), Description and Location have wrong characters.
$ evince Test_Page.pdf &
8. Check which font is used in the Test_Page.pdf
$ pdffonts Test_Page.pdf

It's not support non-ascii characters.
NOTE: I'm not sure about bannertopdf itself should support non-ascii
characters, but we already accept non-ascii characters as description
and location, so we also should print right in test page.
