Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When printing a pdf file generated through LaTeX, the serif font (Type 1 URW Palladio) prints well, but the non-serif CM font (I believe it's Type 3?) is very badly dithered, looking smudged and faint. I'm printing on an HP Laserjet 2100 TN, and I get the same smudged effect regardless of which driver I use. The same file printed with XPDF comes out fine. On-screen display is not a problem.

Thanks,

Joe

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Intrepid Ibex. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
