What version of gnumeric ?

The problem is known a boils down to libgnomepring being silly.
Thankfully a lot less silly than in gnome-1.4, but still not much
brighter than roadkill.

If it can not find a font it succeeds ! and returns the
alphabetically first font it finds :-(  Gnumeric 1.2.0 has a simple
wrapper to warn (on the console) and at try a few likely fallbacks.
This ameliorates the problem, but does not solve it.  The gnumeric
team has joined the gnome-print maintainers recently (announcement
shortly) and will try to rectify that in the very near future.

Good Luck
