Hi,
a few months ago I installed Infinality to improve the font appearance. I'm quite happy with the results. Unfortunately there's a problem, when I want to print pdf files, which contain Type1 fonts. Cups tells me:
| Code: | | "Failed to load gray PPM image" |
The reason is to find in /etc/fonts/infinality/infinality.conf:
| Code: | <!-- Ban Type-1 fonts because they render poorly -->
<!-- Comment this out to allow all Type 1 fonts -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="fontformat" >
<string>Type 1</string>
</patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont> |
If I comment out that part, I can print without problems. The problem is Ghostscript, which expects Type1 fonts.
So until now, if the printer (also cups-pdf) remains idle, I comment out that part. Then I start printing. After finish printing, I remove the comments. It's working this way, but it's an annoying "solution". The problem is described here too: http://www.infinality.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=238
Is there proper way to use infinality AND ghostscript? |
