--- Comment #22 from Johannes Meixner 2011-05-25 14:04:12 UTC ---
Roger Larsson,
please report if the workaround described in comment #17 works for you.
Juergen Weigert,
as far as I understand it, the Gutenprint driver
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.* does not call freetype2.
It is /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster which calls Ghostscript
and Ghostscript calls freetype2 (via libfreetype.so.6)
and Ghostscript outputs CUPS raster data which is then
processed by the Gutenprint driver which converts the
CUPS raster data into printer-specific raster data.
I.e. the distorted letters should appear already in the
CUPS raster data.
To reproduce Roger's invocation, it should work to set up
a print queue with Roger's PPD file, i.e. the PPD file
of the Gutenprint driver for an Epson Stylus PHOTO RX620
but print into a file via "FileDevice yes" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
as follows:
# lpadmin -p rx620 -v file:/tmp/rx620.prn \
-m gutenprint/5.2/C/stp-escp2-rx620.5.2.ppd.gz -E
But we need the CUPS raster data and not the
printer-specific raster data in /tmp/rx620.prn
Therefore the Gutenprint driver
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.*
must be replaced by an appropriate wrapper
to catch its stdin...
I will try to reproduce it...
