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.
