Bug Description
trusty SRU request
==================
[Impact]
When using Roboto fonts (the fonts-roboto package), printing fails with some printers. This has been fixed in later versions, so this proposed upload installs Roboto fonts from fonts-android 4.4.4r2 instead of 4.3. Unlike fonts-droid, fonts-roboto is not a seeded package, so while it's an annoying bug for those affected, this fix only affects those who explicitly install and use fonts-roboto.
[Test Case]
* Package: fonts-roboto 1:4.3-3ubuntu1.1
* Expected Results: When using Roboto fonts in a document (pdf, odf,
etc.), I should be able to print the document.
* Current Results: Roboto fonts make the printer crash instead of
printing. The printer I am using is a HP-Laser Jet P2055.
[Regression Potential]
Low.
[Original Description]
As per https:/
My setup:
1) Release: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
2) Package: fonts-roboto 1:4.3-3ubuntu1.1
3) Expected Results: When using Roboto fonts in a document (pdf, odf, etc.), I should be able to print the document.
4) Current Results: Roboto fonts make the printer crash instead of printing. The printer I am using is a HP-Laser Jet P2055.
Steps to reproduce:
Install "fonts-roboto" package from Ubuntu Software Center. Produce a document in Libre Office with Roboto font and send to printer. Printer is crashing, need hard reboot.
Workaround:
(1) Remove "fonts-roboto" package from Ubuntu Software Center.
(2) Download new version of the fonts made available by Google and save them in the ".fonts" folder in "home" directory.
(3) Produce a new document with Roboto font and send to printer.
(4) Document is printing.
Basically, I think this package just need to be updated to use the latest fonts issued by Google.

Hi Jean-Sebastien, and thanks for your report. We are using the Debian version of fonts-roboto (which is built from the fonts-android source package), so it would be great if you also could file a bug report against fonts-android in Debian's bug tracker, and post a link to that bug here.
