Hmm.  It's not working for me.  I changed the line to be:

my $font = Gnome2::Print::Font->find_closest_from_full_name("Times New
Roman 24");

and I'm still getting this result:

Found: Andale Mono Regular

Times New Roman is a True Type Font that I installed using the
"msttcorefonts" rpm.  It installs a bunch of default-on-windows true
type fonts to /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts.  Other parts of perl-Gtk2
can find them as well as other X programs.  Is there somewhere I need to
inform libgnomeprint about these fonts?
