Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2008-06-14 18:19:17 UTC 
There is an issue with spacing in the last line of text ("Brooklyn!") when
comparing GhostPCL head (r3089+8795) to an HP LaserJet 6MP.

The command line I'm using: 

  pcl6 -r600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw -sOutputFile=test.pbm ./T203.BIN

Portion of GhostPCL output showing the spacing issue.  On the HP LaserJet 6MP
output the 'n' and the '!' do not touch.
Comment 3 Henry Stiles 2008-06-25 12:36:14 UTC 
Here the user is downloading 2 fonts "Brooklyn" and "Bravo".  The last line
takes the character data (the exclamation point) from the Bravo font and writes
it to the Brooklyn font and uses it.  The probability of this happening in a
real job is very unlikely, but it is a valid bug.

set state to "remind me later" since no near term action is planned.
Comment 5 Ray Johnston 2008-07-07 12:22:49 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 6 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 7 Henry Stiles 2008-12-17 09:27:06 UTC 
marking as LATER and will notify the customer.
Comment 8 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2011-09-18 21:47:12 UTC 
Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed.
