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

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).
