[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#670055: cups-filters: Printing a text file fails when Liberation is the only TrueType font available

thanks

I still fail to reproduce this. Quite the contrary, I just printed a 
page with only fonts-liberation and gsfonts-x11 installed; it was 
"Print to File" from gedit, though, but it still worked fine.

I can imagine two different reasons for the failure on your system: 
Either you still have a local copy of the liberation fonts installed 
somewhere, e.g. in ~/.fonts or /usr/local/, and this copy still 
contains the bug that made Liberation-Mono appear non-monospaced 
(#567806). Or your fontconfig is confused or doesn't know about the 
right directory in which the fonts are installed. Could you please try 
to "rm -rf ~/.fontconfig" and run "fc-cache -s -v" as root?
