The problem didn't exhibit itself on my other system. I have discovered that this is because of the fonts I had already selected for printing in the HTML viewing section of control panel. I do no see blank text using Arial and Courier New. By selecting Arial and Courier New for printing on this system I was able to overcome the blank text problem. Is anyone else able to reproduce this? I have CCed this to Neilen Marais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. See his post of 9 January: From: Neilen Marais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Can no longer print in gnome apps using libgnomeprint Date: 09 Jan 2002 03:44:27 +0200 Hi Recently I have been unable to print in gnumeric. It just gives blank output, in the preview, and in the postscript output. Balsa, which also uses libgnomeprint just segfaults if I try to print something. In both gnumeric, and balsa, I get a whole bunch of the flowwing errors to stdout: ** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 572: Face Helvetica: Cannot load face ** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 609 (gff_load): assertion `ft_result == FT_Err_Ok' failed. ** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 306: Face Helvetica: Cannot load face ** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 609 (gff_load): assertion `ft_result == FT_Err_Ok' failed. ** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 572: Face Helvetica: Cannot load face ** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 609 (gff_load): assertion `ft_result == FT_Err_Ok' failed. ** WARNING **: file gnome-font-face.c: line 306: Face Helvetica: Cannot load face I am running mostly woody, with a bit of sid. My gnome packages are from woody though, except that I installed gnumeric and libgnomeprint15 from sid to see if it helps. Sam problem though. Distributions recent as of about 2 days ago. Any ideas? Should I file a bug? Thanks Neilen Yes there is a bug. I have reproduced the same problem. Change the font from Helvetica to Arial and print preview/printing starts working again from Gnumeric. Which packages are at fault people? libgnomeprint? Regards, Adam
