Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2008-06-14 18:27:02 UTC 
There a missing '6' in the "Park Avenue Style: Normal" section at 600 DPI when
comparing GhostPCL head (r3089+8795) to an HP LaserJet 6MP.

The command line I'm using: 

  pcl6 -r600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw -sOutputFile=test.pbm ./DB50BWW3.BIN

The text is supposed to be "36	  24".

Another file with the same sympton, some of the Intellifont text is missing at
the higher point sizes.

Comment 5 Henry Stiles 2008-06-30 15:21:43 UTC 
Yes, we recently put some effort into emulating the scaling of more intellifont
characters for better comparisons with the quality logic fts.  Unfortunately
this is a great deal of work with little return as the characters are never used
outside the Quality Logic tests; we wouldn't associate high priority with this
issue.
Comment 6 Henry Stiles 2008-07-07 12:18:17 UTC 
set state to "remind me later" since no near term action is planned.
Comment 7 Ray Johnston 2008-07-07 12:24:32 UTC 
For customer bugs, it is better to leave them open.

Closed bugs (even with REMIND resolution) will never show up in the tracker.
Comment 8 Henry Stiles 2008-07-09 13:16:48 UTC 
support is supposed to contact the customer about each of these problems.  Also
bugs status is pending on a support policy decision, whatever the outcome of
that I don't have any more to contribute to the issues for now.  Assigning back
to support.
Comment 9 Ray Johnston 2008-07-10 09:59:51 UTC 
Monotype says that these Intellifonts are obsolete and no longer available,
so this problem is not likely to happen on files from modern drivers.
Comment 10 Henry Stiles 2008-12-17 09:28:14 UTC 
marking as LATER and will contact the customer.
Comment 11 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2011-09-18 21:47:55 UTC 
Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed.
