First off I must admit that I need to install FC2 final before I do any further investigation - but I can't do that, an app I need does build in FC2T2 (and works in updated T3) does not build in FC2 final, so I can't update until the developer releases an official fix (coming soon). Here's the issue. Out of several commercial ttf fonts that I have purchased, one does not *fully* work in FC2T3 It behaves exactly as expected in AbiWord both on screen printing to my LaserJet 4 (using CUPS) The problem is that when I print to PDF file using the "create PDF" function of the AbiWord print menu, this particular font gets screwed up royally. Other fonts I have purchased work just fine. I would like to know how I can determine if it is a font problem or an application problem (I am for now assuming it is a gnome-print problem) - and once that is determined, how to get it fixed. If it is a font problem then clearly it needs to be reported as a bug to the font foundry. If it is a gnome-print problem, then it needs to be fixed in the OSS world. Unfortunately it is a commercial font - but it is not an expensive one, and I would be willing to purchase license for a QUALIFIED fedora developer to fix the issue, assuming it is a Fedora bug and not a font bug. I can not pay the salary of the developer, just the font license to verify the bug. Assuming it isn't magically fixed by installing FC2 and running yum update, how do I go about getting it fixed? The font is Schreibmaschine Here is what it looks like in AbiWord: http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/misc/fonts.png Here is what it looks like when printed to PDF: http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/misc/fonts-gpdf.png Here is the pdf file that produced pdf image: http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/misc/fonts.pdf All my myfonts.com fonts are installed in /usr/share/fonts/purchased and a proper fonts.dir and fonts.scale is in that directory - all of them work in AbiWord and other apps that use ttf fonts - all EXCEPT the Schreibmaschine font work fine when printed to pdf. The font is from http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/schreibmaschine/
