kprinter mishandles font encoding when doing page selection

[Sergio Callegari]

Binary package hint: kdeprint

This typically happens when printing documents from acrobat reader.

Try the following:

- open a document with acrobat reader
- select print
- select custom printer and make acroread handle the print job via kprinter
- print

Document prints fine

Now try

- open a document with acrobat reader
- select print
- select custom printer and make acroread handle the print job via kprinter
- in kprinter select page range (e.g. odd pages)
- print

In printout many letters become small squares.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

Unfortunately I cannot check as 8.10 has no kde 3.5 option and after some tests and considering the "Is KDE 4.1 for you" document decided not to upgrade (I have nvidia hardware with broken drivers that break the konsole, plus a need for bluetooth). Not yet at least.

Being that hardy is LTS and still supported, please do not close the bug.
