Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work. The fonts being used to print the message did not change. We are using e-mail reports instead of printing them, but sometimes to discuss things in meetings etc a printed copy is helpful so we will need to find a way around this problem. I also have some embedded form feeds that are filtered by the print routines that need to stay unfiltered so that each page is printed properly. I filed a report in bugzilla pertaining to the fonts yesterday. Can you tell me if this is an evolution problem or if it is a gnome problem. I would like to put my hat in the ring to help work on a fix. Thanks again!!!
