    [PRINTER] cups filter texttopdf failing

    I can no longer print a text file from the command line . The cups filter 'texttopdf' fails with

    INFO: texttopdf (PID 7076) started.
    Unsupported OTF font / glyf table
    cupsfilter: fontembed/sfnt.c:651: otf_get_width: Assertion `0' failed.
    ERROR: texttopdf (PID 7076) crashed on signal 6

    I was simply doing 'cat /etc/fstab | lp'

    If I look at the file in Firefox and then tell it (Firefox) to print it works . I guess thats a workaround (have Firefox convert the text to pdf)

    cups info

    cups/focal-updates,focal-security,now 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    cups/focal 2.3.1-9ubuntu1 amd64

    There is all ready a 'fix' found here
