I'm interested in this too. If I cut/paste/save a text file, I can lpr
it at a reasonable font size. Printing directly from evolution or
firefox uses the larger font size.
Evolution's font size setup has two options; "use the same as other
applications" or "use my designated sizes". I think that the printing
info is being picked up, all the time, as "same as others" but I haven't
figured out where "the others" comes from.

I have just upgraded from FC3 to FC6. One of the things that changed was the
font size when printing text on my Kyocera-Mita FS-1010 printer. Printing
of PostScript is unaffected, but printing a mail message, for example comes
out in a larger type size than it used to. I'm guessing that it's 14 pt.
I don't know where this is controlled, and therefore how to change the type
size. I gather that the PPD only applies to PostScript printing.
Re: VB Printer Dialog Problem (VB6) ... What I would really like to know is exactly what it is you are printing?... Forms and printers have very different resolutions (typically 96 pixels per inch in the case of a Form and 600 pixels per inch in the case of a printer). ...Font sizes can only be in "whole pixel values", so when you ask for an 11 point font on a specific device the operating system will examine the "pixels per inch" of that device and will give you the nearest font size it can, to the nearest whole pixel value. ...

Re: Data Report: Do it the hard way :-) ... I've never seen that code before so I don't yet know for certain exactly how it works but I've just downloaded it now for a quick look and it seems to be using the more or less standard simple print preview technique of passing a DC to a main printing routine and using more or less the same code to set up the font and graphic settings of the DC and then sending text and images to it. ... You can see the effects of this problem straight away if you download the code from the link you posted and run the PrintPreviewDemo_BMP example and click the Print Preview Instructions button and perform both a Preview and a Print to the printer. ...
