Description konrads2k4 2004-02-18 14:26:37 UTC 
While printing to a post-script printer or file special baltic(latvian)
characters are replaced from another font. Export to PDF works correctly. Thus i
assume that there is a problem while converting to postscript.

please attach the original document, the postscript file and the pdf file

cp->hdu: please have a look at what might be the issue here.

For which fonts does this happen?

Does it work when you disable "font replacement" in the dialog, that is shown
when you start the "spadmin" program, click on Properties, then the "Font
Replacement" tab?

Comment 6 hdu@apache.org 2004-04-27 12:02:03 UTC 
A workaround is to disable printer font replacement. Start the spadmin program,
select "printer properties", then the "font replacement" tab and disable the
checkbox there.

The problem is that by default "postscript font replacement" is enabled, which
causes a e.g. "Thorndale" or "Times New Roman" printout to be replaced by the
corresponding builtin font "Times". Since the builtin font doesn't contain these
characters (while the original font contains them) the "glyph fallback" is used
for them. The glyph fallback currently just tries to display the character using
any other suitable font. The perfect fix would be to first try the originally
selected font as glyph fallback font.
