Guenther,

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!!!

Greg
