In a nutshell, the printed (and previewed) output does not look like what I see on the screen. The root of the problem is that the printed characters are wider on the paper (and in the preview) than they are on the screen. They may be taller too, but that is more easily tolerated.
Am I missing something in the setup of my fonts? Surely, Gnumeric is WYSIWYG. BTW, all of the installed fonts seem available to Gnumeric in its Font list.
Unfortunately some fonts (most fonts) vary in character widths between various resolutions. So if you were to print at screen resolution everything would look exactly as on screen (but of course fonts at screen resolution look ugly when printed.) You might be able to format your spreadsheet better if you look at it in 600% enlargement or so. The font widths of large size fonts at low resolution are probably more proportional to the font width of small fonts at high resolutions. Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
