FYI it is 'PPD' not 'DPD'  :)

(For anyone else that's reading this, the problem is that one Georgian 
"character" typically takes up more than one byte when encoded into 
UTF-8. So even though a translated string may be less than 80 
_characters_ it can take over 80 bytes to store/represent it in the PPD 
file)

Only strings that can end up in the PPD file are affected, but I'm not 
sure of a simple way to flag the ones that are potentially problematic.

You'll need to re-enable the Georgian language in configure.ac, re-run 
autogen.sh and do a build, generate a buch of PPD files, and pass those 
files through 'cupstestppd'

You can run 'make check-parallel' to do this automatically (after 
running ./autogen.sh first), but it will take a couple of hours to 
complete unless you have a beefy system.  The failures will show up in 
src/cups/test-ppds.log.
