Hello!
Bang!
The problem was = instead == in checking for active font size!
So all font settings, that only change size are being ignored.
If face is canged, or there is grestore, font change happens.
Anyways, until fixed gnome-print will get released and distributed,
you should be able to get around this bug, by wrapping all font
changes between gsave/grestore pairs. This is completely safe (although
maybe increases ps job size by few %) - gnumeric is doing that -
what is why I have not seen it before.
Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
