Comment 27 for bug 200899

Jm2c: with Inkscape 0.48.2 a document with Arial Black bold italic renders fine onscreen in Windows (XP SP3), in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) there is no difference between bold and normal, but italic is visible. Windows prints fine, Linux on print and export to pdf looses italic (and bold, but that lacks onscreen also).

This bug is around for 4 years, it affects more Linux than Windows users, is pretty visible and breaks user experience at an unexpected point: when a project is finally ready, everything looks fine on screen, but the printed product is broken, and there is no way to make it work except have the file printed from a Windows box (if it works there). That said the severity of this bug seems somewhat underestimated.
