Bug 61299 (suse46299)

<!-- SBZ_reproduce  -->
Open this file with OOo, 
ftp://ftp.novell.co.jp/outgoing/SuSE/font_test.doc
printer setting need to be done on the system before this operation.
Printout font_test.doc from OOo. Japanese strings will be blank.

At Gnome session, Japanese strings printout be done correctly.
This bug is seen with KDE session.

OOo in the gnome session has also many bugs: see bug 61365

The doc file above can't be shown correctly when you don't install
Novell-ricoh-fonts.

ftp://ftp.novell.co.jp/outgoing/nld/ja_commercial/Novell-ricoh-fonts-
0.20040921-1.3.1.noarch.rpm
 
This package will install the Novell-ricoh-fonts and this will configure 
the OOo replacing font on SL9.2.

Of course, when you installed Novell-ricoh-fonts, OOo works.
But not every user has Novell-ricoh-fonts, and this doc file isn't shown correctly
on such a system.  Should be anohter bug.

I confirmed that OOo printing of this doc file works fine in the Gnome session.

Since this is related with KDE-OOo, I add kendy to Cc.

Added OOo maintainer to Cc, too.

It could be solved in the config file 
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu

For each known font there could be defined subtitutions for the fonts used on
the screen, in MS file formats, in post script and in HTML file format.

The following example defines substitutions for the font Thorndale AMT:

   <node oor:name="thorndaleamt" oor:op="replace">
    <prop oor:name="SubstFonts">
    
<value>thorndaleamt;thorndale;thorndaleamt;timesnewroman;nimbusromanno9l;nimbusromanno9l;times;timesroman;newyork;timmons;serif;lucidaserif;lucidabright;roman;nimbusromanno9;bookman;itcbookman;garamond;garamondmt;palatino</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="SubstFontsMS">
     <value>Times New Roman</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="SubstFontsPS">
     <value>Times</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="SubstFontsHTML">
     <value>serif</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="FontWeight">
     <value>Normal</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="FontWidth">
     <value>Normal</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="FontType">
     <value>Default,Standard,Normal,Serif</value>
    </prop>
   </node>

I do not know if something like that could be defined for the Japanese, Chinese,
etc. fonts and how much time it could take.

It's not reproducible here.  The visible PostScript with japanese letters
is created both on Gnome and KDE sessions.

Nevertheless, MS P Mincho and MS P Gothic seem not well substituted.
With the Novell-ricoh-fonts on STABLE, they are not printed at all.
With the one from ftp.novell.co.jp, it's shown better in the window
(mincho is shown as mincho), but both are printed in gothic.

Seems to work somewhat better.

There is a very strange effect though:

The title line for the 8th font on the second page shows

    "MS PGothic"

in the OpenOffice buffer but

    "MS UIGo
   thic"

(with that strange line break!) in the printout.

Same for the second font on the third page. In the OpenOffice buffer
one sees

    "MS Gothic"

and in the printout

    "MSUIGo
   thic"

Any ideas what's wrong here?

The behavior is the same if only the Sazanami fonts are installed
or if the Sazanami fonts *and* the Novell-ricoh-fonts are installed.

Reduce priority to major because it works much better now than 
in the original report (although it still doesn't work perfectly).

The remaining problem explained in comment #10 seems to be fixed in
SuSE Linux 10.1 RC1, see the postscript file attached in comment #14
and the screenshot of kghostview in comment #15.

By the way, "gv" could display only the first page of the postscript file
from comment #14.

closing as FIXED.
