Given that this bug was from over a decade ago, and we've done substantial printing improvements & re-investigations over the past few years which could conceivably have fixed this, and this hasn't come up recently, I think we can consider this "worksforme" at this point.
(It sounds like comment 24 had a strong suspicion that there was a particular cairo change that would've fixed this over 5 years ago, too; and this has been mostly silent since then.) If anyone can still reproduce a version of this bug (bold text missing on Linux), it's probably best to track that in a new bug at this point, since there's a good likelihood it'd be a new/different issue from what was originally going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cairo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344814 Title: Synthetic emboldening/italic/italic-bold fails for single-styled fonts Status in Mozilla Firefox: Invalid Status in The Gimp: New Status in Scribus: New Status in cairo package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Ubuntu 9.10, firefox 3.5.3 is unable to print bold Chinese sans characters. Steps to duplicate: 1. if you set desktop language to Chinese, ttf-wqy-zenhei will be automatically installed as the default Sans Serif font, if you use other languages, simply install ttf-wqy-zenhei via atp-get first 2. in firefox, select Edit\Preference\Content\Font & Color, select the default font as "sans-serif" 3. browse any Chinese web page with bold face, for example http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/ 4. print page Expected results: the emboldened titles shall be printed in bold face Actual results: both the titles and text are printed with the same weight. English bold characters look fine on the print though.
