<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Severity: normal</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Dear Maintainer,</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">TLDR: I needed to manually run dpkg-reconfigure to properly be able to print a github page from firefox</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I run into trouble when I tried printing from firefox a github page. After some investigation I discovered that font-family was resolved to helvetica and that helvetica was a bitmap font in my bullseye system (upgraded from buster long time ago).</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Before the dpkg-reconfigure, fc-match resolved like this:</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">```</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">$ fc-match -s helvetica</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">```</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">After this I manually run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig fontconfig-config` and I remember one of the options was related to bitmap fonts. These are the debconf values now:</p>

<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">After this, fc-match resolves like this:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">```</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">$ fc-match -s helvetica </p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">```</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Now firefox resolves its font-family `font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji";` to sans-serif and printing to PDF is nice and readable.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I had to learn some things to get to this conclusion and I hope this bug report can make life easier for anyone facing a similar problem. I wonder if it is possible to include some kind of fix in fontconfig packages in order to avoid the problem.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">After taking a look at current reported bugs I found that the following may be related:</p>

<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Unfortunately I found these after having solved the problem so I cannot point to them directly. If you agree I can merge all these.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Note: On my other laptop running sid, I have not found this problem.</p>
