Hello, I have an OKi printer that worked fine until a few months back. On some fonts, it started producing garbage, I suspect that is because the font format evolved and the printer does not recognize it. When upgrading myu computer to a newer version of Linux, the fonts included have newer freetype features that are not supported. For example, Libre Baskerville is complete garbage. Some other fonts are ok, some have minor issues on some letters. I know that Chromium has an option to print a PDF as an image, and it solves the problem, but I cannot print everything from Chromium. Is there an option to sanitize fonts before they are sent to the printer, or to force printing as image? Thank you. Mildred
