Summary: Incorrect Opentype Font Exporting and Printing
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: i586
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: urgent
Priority: low
Component: freetype
AssignedTo: besfahbo at redhat.com

Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
I labelled this bug as relevant to freetype for it is related to font rendering
issues in general.
This problem could be reproduced as follows:
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with abiword and export
(print) it to pdf. Use pdffonts to list the embedded fonts within in the pdf.
Then the terminal result shows that the opentype font is replaced by times new
roman.
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with abiword and export
(print) it to ps. Then evince fails to open the file.
Open an odt file, with opentype fonts specified within, with kword (2.0 rc1),
under gnome, and export it to pdf. Then kword crashes. However if the file is
opened via kword under kde, kword then export the file to pdf, and pdffonts
show that the pdf does include the embedded "real" opentype fonts.
Set application font to some opentype fonts and open openoffice.org writer.
Then we will notice that the openoffice.org application font is not the
opentype font specified. Also, openoffice.org cannot use opentype fonts within
the document, nor can openoffice.org display opentype fonts correctly within
the document. The document mentioned above is an odt file. I didnt notice any
other application that has such behavior.
I am also sure that this problem is reproducible on fedora 10. However, since I
am using fedora 11 rawhide right now, I filed it as a fedora 11 bug.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype.i586 2.3.9-3.fc11
koffice-kword.i586 2:1.9.99.0-1.fc12
openoffice.org-writer.i586 1:3.1.0-9.2.fc11
pango.i586 1.24.1-1.fc11
pangomm.i586 2.24.0-1.fc11
qt.i586 1:4.5.0-14.fc11
abiword.i586 1:2.6.8-2.fc11
kdebase-devel.i586 6:4.2.2-2.fc11
kdelibs.i586 6:4.2.2-5.fc11
Expected results:
Abiword, Openoffice.org, Kword, and all other applications are supposed to
export documents with opentype fonts to pdf with real opentype fonts, not with
any kind of other substitution fonts, and those applications are supposed to do
so under every desktop environment.
