[fontforge-users] Unable to generate full font print specimen

All,

I am trying to generate a PDF that shows the full font's set of glyphs via
"Print" (menu) > "Print" (tab) > "Full Font Display" with the output
settings of "To PDF" and page size "Letter", but the generated PDF doesn't
show any glyphs at all, just the usual row/column markers. All the other
kinds of print options work fine ("Full Page Glyphs", "Multi Size Glyphs",
and the other sample text in the "Display" tab). I'm using the 4 Oct 2016
build on Windows 8.1.

Any ideas? I haven't had this problem before with other versions, so I
might be able to revert one of those for the time being, but I'd like to
get this resolved so I can prepare specimens to accompany my font packages.

Thanks,
Abraham

P.S. This happens with any font, and on Win 7 as well.

Does this happen with just one typeface or for all?

Any and all. I can get all the other print options to work for any font,
just not the "Full Font Display".

Hmm. It works for me on Ubuntu. Can somebody else using the most recent
Windows version test?

Alright. No volunteers. I'll be back in the office later this week, and
I'll try on a Windows virtual machine. Sorry for the delays.
