Description sforbes 2003-07-28 16:48:35 UTC 
spadmin defaults to font subsitution from the system fonts to the printer fonts.

This is very bad- the veresions of fonts printers have usally do not contain
Hebrew, althugh they have indentical name, thus braking Hebrew printing.

To print Hebrew, the user must run spadmin, and uncheck "font subsitution" for
every printer he/she has installed, assuming that the user has the currect
privlages to run spadmin.

This is very bad behavier.

cp->hdu: is this a problem of glyph substitution ?
Comment 4 hdu@apache.org 2003-09-01 13:29:49 UTC 
> is this a problem of glyph substitution? 
 
The main problem in this case is WYSI_not_WYG. E.g. TNR is selected for 
the printer, it gets "printer substituted" with Times and for unicodes not in 
AdobeStandardEncoding this gets "glyph substituted" with a rescue font like 
LucidaSans. 
 
The easiest fix is to disable printer font substitution for most language 
builds, but this increases the printer output and for systems with bad font 
outlines printouts will look worse. 
 
The cleaner fix to first try a "glyph fallback" to the originally selected font is 
much more problematic. As discussed with CP this is the prefered solution 
for OOo 2.0.

Comment 10 hdu@apache.org 2005-07-13 11:09:28 UTC 
The original title of this issue is to disable font substitution on the printer.

Mainly because it triggered issue 27231, which has been solved. Since the owner
of the decision on which default setting to use doesn't want to change the
current behaviour, doesn't want to update this issue's status accordingly to
INVALID, and I own this issue again the status gets changed appropriately....

Closing.
