[cups.bugs] [HIGH] STR #1995: Locale setting might cause filters to produce invalid PostScript

[Thorsten Vitt]

[STR New]

German locale settings use a , instead of a . as decimal sign. When
submitting a print job using lp in a German locale (e.g.
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8), the filters (at least pdftops and the filter rotating
pages for Cups' landscape option) use localized numbers in the PostScript
output, which of course violates the PostScript spec (and causes the print
jobs to fail at either GhostScript or the PostScript printer).
