in response to the above post, i have just tried printing from OpenOffice to a .ps file, and then tried "gs -sDEVICE=x11 test.ps"
it always fails. i have tried changing the font in the simple test document to a range of different fonts, but always the same problem. should this affect the issue if the issue is as you suggest? (e.g. a broken font)
this is odd because as far as i'm aware, this is a standard install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
the "extra" ms core fonts are on it, but i have not installed anything else.
