I've spent some time compiling and have realized I can't downgrade pango/cairo
as gtk+ (and likely a whole slew of other packages) will break or require
uninstalling. Not feasible at this point I think.
To test for this bug on your system:
1) Create a new abiword file
2) Type some text with several occurrences of char 'u', 'b', 'n'. (Times Roman
TTF?)
3) Print the document & look for square glyphs replacing font chars.
(I'm using cups with ghostscript-gpl here if it matters.)
Package versions here:
=x11-libs/pango-1.28.4
=x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r1
I believe the bug is centralized within the above pango/cairo packages, as many
bugs have been reported in the past with pages full of square glyphs and the
bugs seemed to always focus on pango.
But printing to PDF/PS/ (to file) and then printing using epdfview and not
seeing the above bug, does again rule out cups, printer firmware, fonts?,
etc...
As such, I don't think these matter:
app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r6 || app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.04-r3
=net-print/cups-1.4.8-r1
