Thanks for the response Patrick. I don't have a printer installed on this machine yet, so I can't check and see if it prints properly. I installed the cups-pdf package and tried the print to PDF file and the result was the same. > From: "Felix C.

Saving as a PDF file maintains the italicized fonts. Thanks Felix. That seems odd to me that the default fonts shipped with AbiWord do not allow the italicized font to be converted to PDF (without having to install msttcorefonts). I would think that this is a bug or at least a wishlist item. I am just not quite sure which package to file it against. It is my understanding that conversion to PDF is done using the gnome-print library: <http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/FaqCreatingPDFs> But since I am using abiword-gnome (which is apparently compiled with the gnome-print library), perhaps this is the best place for it. Unless someone recommends different, I will probably file the bug there. Thanks, Andy -- ~ G O W E R O P O L I S ~ http://gowerlinux.no-ip.org:8080/blog/
