Description aurelio 2003-04-05 06:35:43 UTC 
When I use special subsets of the Times font, e.g. greek symbols or
Latin-Extended B characters, they appear on display, but they don't print. If I
use the greek symbols of the Symbol or OpenSymbol fonts, they show and print
fine. It is not a printer driver problem because even the intermediate
postscript file doesn't print  (with ghostview).

please submit a sample document and the resulting printout (PostScript
file). Can you reproduce the behaviour with a current 644 based build
(OpenOffice 1.1 beta) ?

Comment 4 aurelio 2003-04-09 20:20:44 UTC 
Unfortunately, I don't have a current build installed (and I don't
have the time to do that for now). Could someone that has it installed
please try out the attached document to see if it prints both alphas?
Maybe a Postscript guru could quickly see what the problem is (the
attachment with the id=5549 is a postscript file).
Comment 5 christof.pintaske 2003-09-01 14:44:51 UTC 
probably the same problem as with the hebrew vc. printer font subst.
Comment 6 hdu@apache.org 2003-09-01 15:17:21 UTC 
Issue 17515 can be mostly solved by disabling "print font substitution" for 
some language builds, but this issue is more universal.
Comment 7 hdu@apache.org 2004-08-12 16:07:18 UTC 
This issue blocks the realated issue 17515, issue 25644, issue 27231.
The root cause is:
 - the device subsystem replaces a system wide font with a related device font
 - the device font does not support all unicodes the originally selected font does
=> the glyph fallback currently just uses a "rescue font"
=> this rescue action can be improved if the glyph fallback feature used the
originally selected font first and only if this also fails to use a rescue font)
Comment 8 hdu@apache.org 2004-10-07 14:36:14 UTC 
Fixed in the CWS fontlists04 with the changes for issue 27231.
