Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5037
Slant and bold truetype faces aren't printed correctly after pspfontcache is created on Linux.

The first time OpenOffice is started, every Truetype fonts are really ***awful***. Then the second time (that is, AFTER ~/OO/user/psprint/pspfontcache is built), fonts looks very nice, but are not preinted correctly on SGENPRT printer (everything is either roman / italic bold, no more roman bold and italic medium - may vary yet). rm pspfontcache solves the printing problem... untill OO recreates it. In fact, when pspfontcache exists, printing (in a file) shows that TT fonts are partly embedded in the PostScript file (whereas everything is OK is it's printed after the first start of OO). Truetype fonts are therefore either printable and not presentable, or presentable but not printable. Critical (by the way, I do not understand why generic printer configuration is necessary to display correctly the fonts). This bug only appears on Linux (XFree 4.2.0 + X font server, Windows 2000 TT fonts installed with different encodings but Unicode). Setup was done with /net, then a user account was created. No pspfontcache in install path, only the one created by OO on the user account. Reproduced both with X11 TT fonts used natively and after installing the fonts with spadmin (which, by the way, creates the pspfontcache too), either globally or in the user account. Have a tarball with the minimalist document, generated PostScript files either with the bug or not, and the pspfontcache that seems to cause problem. Ask me for it at casteyde.christian at free dot fr for it. Didn't find how to attach file in IssuZilla (quite complicated). CC

OK, seems to be the same issue than 4366. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 4366 ***
Sorry, 4366 only deals with display and do not address the printing problem. I reopen this issue because the pspfontcache problem does seem to prevent printing truetype fonts, but I do not know if it is really a consequence of 4366. By the way, deleteing pspfontcache does solve the printing problem, but messed up truetype fonts on display as shown on the last screenshot of 4366.
PM->CMC or SBA Should we mark this as a duplicate of 4366. It sounds very close to the same issue experienced in 4366.
Mr./Ms Casteyde, I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of 4366. If the problem still appears in the next release, we'll take a look at your issue again. Thanks for all your efforts. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 4366 ***
