Aye I know, that's what I'm trying to fix :)
By the way, the font printing problem you reported disappeared between
March and May. I was all set to celebrate. But it's back again this
month :(
Another user suspects it's happening due to faulty font hints,
preventing the X[print] server accessing the appropriate fonts. He's
looking into it further at the moment (bug #251067).
