Have a look the attached example. When you view the generated pdf document in Acrobat, there is no problem, but when you print it (at least in ar7), the Gentium c haracters are not visible at all in the output. Included is the output of acroread 7.0.8's print-to-file on linux . The really weird part is that removing the chancery font fixes the problem with the Gentium. /me doesn't get it, I hope someone else understand what happens.

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1608 Hi Reinhart, That AR was confused was the point, not a side-effect. ;-) Thanh discovered and fixed a bug, and that fix will no doubt be included in 1.40.3 eventually. Thanhs comment was:

bug 729 seems to be caused by an error in the new font writting stuff. Actually a TrueType font should not have an Enoding entry in its font dictionary at all. Indeed commenting out the Encoding entry for Gentinum made the problem gone. Fixing the problem should be easy.

The fix is to start the if statement on line 507 of writefont.c with an extra test: if (!is_truetype(fo->fd->fm) && ....

A print to file of kpdf doesn't have the "fi", only "ll 1". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=729&group_id=106
