[Bug 344814] [NEW] firefox unable to print bold Chinese

[fangq]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu 8.10,  firefox 3.0.7 is unable to print bold Chinese sans
characters.

Steps to duplicate: 
1. if you set desktop language to Chinese, ttf-wqy-zenhei will be automatically installed as the default Sans Serif font, if you use other languages, simply install ttf-wqy-zenhei via atp-get first

2. in firefox, select Edit\Preference\Content\Font & Color, select the
default font as "sans-serif"

3. browse any Chinese web page with bold face, for example
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/

4. print page

Expected results: 
the emboldened titles shall be printed in bold face

Actual results: 
both the titles and text are printed with the same weight. English bold characters look fine on the print though.
Bold Chinese characters prints ok with OpenOffice 2.4.1
