when I try to use the landscape option to print PDF/ps/doc files the result is a close to not readable page. I mean... chars are more larger than high whichever type of char I use. If I use the portrait option everything is OK. Printer: Epson SX125 Driver: Epson NX115 SO: Linux
I have exactly the same problem, except with an Epson 880 printer. In Landscape mode, character height is reduced by 50%, and character widths are doubled, so that they overlap each other. The result is essentially unreadable. I am using Cups 1.4.6, with driver stp-escp2-880.5.2.ppd.gz in Open SUSE 11.4 on an x86_64 machine.
Probably an issue since Ghostscript version 9.0, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692356#c13 ................................................................ As of Ghostscript version 9.0, Ghostscript uses Freetype 2.4.x as the default font scaler/renderer.
With this change, we added a new switch: -dDisableFAPI=true to revert to the older behavior, just in case serious regression happens ................................................................
Switch added to /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster.

From my point of view the root cause seems to be in FreeType2 but I have no knowledge at all how to debug font related issues.
Therefore I re-assign the bug - at least for now - to you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can reproduce it!
Great!
In particular the latter is strange. Why is only the character for the number "2" in "2011" garbled but not the other characters which seem to be the same font?
Thinking of it - I think the bad letters changed. Before I had another test print with "20" bad - and I think there was no '0' either in header. As it is no other '2' now - font not preloaded properly? BTW testwheel.ps is not accepted as a proper postscript file -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
