Description Tristan Miller 2004-03-15 17:14:35 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Messages printed with KMail using the "Print to File (PostScript)" do not seem to work with many other applications which process PostScript files.  I don't know enough to determine whether this is a bug in KMail, in the KDE HTML Library, or with Ghostscript.

To reproduce:

1. Select a message.
2. File->Print
3. Name: Print to file (PostScript)
4. Print
5. Progress window pops up; everything is fine
6. Try to open or process the file with gv, ghostview, ps2pdf, ps2epsi, and many other programs; get the following error:

Error: /invalidfont in findfont

Comment 1 Tristan Miller 2004-03-18 12:23:09 UTC 
Just upgraded to KDE 3.2.1.  Problem still occurs.
Comment 2 Ingo Klöcker 2004-03-19 21:56:21 UTC 
Works correctly here. Does using another font for printing help? Does printing from Konqueror work?
Comment 3 Tristan Miller 2004-03-19 22:09:53 UTC 
No, changing the font doesn't seem to have any effect.  But I can print from Konqueror just fine.
Comment 4 Benno Dielmann 2004-03-29 19:22:58 UTC 
It probably has something to do with bug #75820. Refresh the gostscript-library - rpm (installs the correct Fontmap) and everything should be fine ;-)

Or else...

Greetings, benno.
Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2004-03-29 21:43:44 UTC 
I saw the problem too, apparently kfontinst munged ghostscript's Fontmap.  See bug #75820.  fixed in kde-3.2.1 (though if your Fontmap file is still munged, it's still broken).
