I've noticed that myself.

You should use

  Gnome2::Print::Font->find_closest_from_full_name("Times New Roman 16");

Which seems to work correctely.

Yet, I don't think it's a fault of the perl binding: seems more like a
bug of libgnomeprint to me. I'm looking into GtkSourceView in order to
write a binding for this widget, and they use "find_closest_from_full_name"
inside their code.

Reagrds,
 Emmanuele.
