Interesting.  After Bill mentioned gal I checked and gal wasn't
installed anyway.  Odd, since I thought gnome apps needed GAL.

If it is a font problem shouldn't there be similar problems with other
gnome apps?  What other apps use gnome-print that I could test?  I have
AbiWord installed and can print out of it just fine.  Dia works just
fine.  Just thinking out loud.
