Test file to illustrate the bug
NOTE: if you would like my two PS files, I will be happy to forward them to you but I thought that they were a bit too long to post here. -- JRT Subject: Re: New: PS files generated by printing have incorrect font names. I forwarded your report to Trolltech - all the PS generation happens in Qt... Created attachment 1872 [details]
test code for ps generation
Hmm, TT answered back that it works for them, with a plain Qt program. "Could you perhaps try to reproduce this with just Qt? I've tried using the attached program, but the resulting .ps file seemed to contain the correct font names." I attached the testcase. I have no time for further debugging on this right now, sorry. The bug appears to be more general. If you check, you will see that the same incorrect font names appear in the font selector widget. E.G. Control Center: Appearance & Themes => Fonts: Choose. So, this is probably a general KDE bug. -- JRT Changed Product and Summary to better represent the actual problem. Please move this to the correct place if I have it wrong. -- JRT the question was: can you reproduce it with a pure Qt application?! Having looked into this further, I find that there are two different but related problems. The family name: "Swis721 BT" is correct and the incorrect case in the KFontDialog shouldn't cause any problems. However, KWord is not using the correct PostScript font names but rather it is using the same names as in the KFontDialog in the PostScript files that it generates. I don't know if this is caused by KOffice code or KDELibs code. I will open a new bug for KOffice. -- JRT I have determined that the problem is in Qt. So, I am closing the bug. -- JRT |
