How do you know what font is > being used for printing? I'm using version 1.1.19 (upgraded to this version last night hoping to fix the problem, but no joy). I know what font it's using because the font it's using is a highly stylized true type font that I have installed and it's pretty distinctive. Curiously, in further poking around, I've noticed that if I double-click on a text field in the spreadsheet, the text in the cell that I've selected becomes the sylized font (called Abaddon) and when I deselect it, it goes back to Helvetica which is what I've told it to use in the first place. This is very curious behavior. -Scott
