Therefore the packages in the "Printing" project might neither be in a stable state nor fit well into currently installed systems. Have this in mind if you think about to install packages from the "Printing" project into your currently running system. If you do this, do not use "Factory" if your system is e.g. openSUSE 11.3. Use the matching packages for your particular system. The packages in the "Printing" project are only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty, and without any support. As an extreme example, this means if your complete computer center crashes because of those packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. ------------------------------------------------------------- I did only a quick test on my openSUSE 11.4 x84_64 system with a HP LaserJet 1220 which still prints o.k. (see comment #3). I appreciate any feedback whether or not the issue is perhaps fixed in the new version for your Epson Stylus PHOTO RX620. But I don't assume that the issue is fixed in the new version because the "Changes from 5.2.6" section in the NEWS file and at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.7/ do not explicitly mention this issue.

Regarding "how to add this option to driver" (comment #15): It is /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster which runs Ghostscript and fortunately this is a bash script so that you can add the "-dDisableFAPI=true" therein e.g. as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Options we use with Ghostscript... gsopts="-dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dDisableFAPI=true" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please report if this works for 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.

In certain circumstances (probably only for particular fonts) FreeType2 fails in Ghostscript so that rotated characters (by 90 and 270 degrees) get wrong scaled - it looks as if height and width of each character was interchanged. Via a Ghostscript command line switch FreeType2 in Ghostscript can be disabled so that Ghostscript uses its traditional font scaler/renderer which works o.k.

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.
