| When I print files containing Courier fonts to a specific printer
(Samsung 1750), i get ugly overly large output. The same file sent to a
Postscript printer or to a Laserjet prints fine. So what's wrong? Is the
printer using built-in broken fonts? Is ghostscript failing to find good
fonts?
Here's a peculiar thing. If I display the file using gv, the upright
Courier is okay, the oblique and bold oblique are bad!
Here's the relevant part of the file:
%%BeginSetup
%
(Courier-iso1252) cvn (Courier) cvn ISO1252Encoding psp_definefont
(Courier-Bold-iso1252) cvn (Courier-Bold) cvn ISO1252Encoding psp_definefont
(Courier-Oblique-iso1252) cvn (Courier-Oblique) cvn ISO1252Encoding psp_definefont
(Courier-BoldOblique-iso1252) cvn (Courier-BoldOblique) cvn ISO1252Encoding psp_definefont
%%DocumentNeededResources: font Courier
%%+ font Courier-Bold
%%+ font Courier-Oblique
%%+ font Courier-BoldOblique
The system is Fedora Core 3 with ghostscript-7.07 and cups.

Please file a bug report on http://bugs.ghostscript.com
Don't forget to attach a sample file.

For the record, this problem has disappeared after upgrading to
urw-fonts-1.2-7.99. The changelog for this package records the
following: - change descender/ascender in "NimbusMonL" on Feb. 24th.

"iso1252encoding"? Isn't it called ANSIŽ encoding?
