[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#552082: cups-pdf bug: random font typeface exchange between italic and normal.

[Frank Wakelkamp]

Package:cups-pdf
version:2.5.0-8ubuntu1

The bug occurs when printing from music notation program Finale 2007
(installed via WINE 1.1.31). I use the Tahoma text font regularly,
and few random letters and figures are printed in italic or normal
when the original font typeface in Finale is normal or italic. This
happens at
the same spots when printing the same document with cups-pdf again,
and also occurs at the same spots when printing directly to paper.

See header (G. 5_7_9) and footer (2_00_9 and 5_7_9) on the first page
of the pdf attachment. (Italic instead of normal)

See bar numbers 3_5_, 3_9_, 4_5_ on the second page of the pdf
attachment. (Normal instead of italic)

[I use Ubuntu Karmic 2.6.31-14, cups 1.4.1-5ubuntu2 and hplip-cups
3.9.8-1ubuntu2, and the same error appears in Jaunty.]
