to your mail display font, IIRC. Maybe even hardcoded..."

Yay. :-)  Although a link would have been nice...

Thanks for your response.  I am really needing to change the fonts to
allow printing lines that are 85 characters long.  Is this considered a
bug, or do you know if this is being addressed by teams of gnome or
evolution?

Does the last part of the referred to post above answer this?

"Different settings for fonts are necessary too. Not sure if these issues
 are filed already in bugzilla, but I'm pretty sure they are. Feel free
 to search for them and add comments -- or simply file them, if they
 aren't already."


Regarding long lines: Just a guess, but maybe changing the display font
to a smaller one does this? Printed mails for me do have plenty of space
for long lines without wrapping...

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
