When I print mails in Evolution, it prints with fonts so small, that letters appear as small dots. In Print Preview, the result is the same, but I can zoom in (quite a lot) and see that the text is truly there. I checked the font size, and it's 12. I can only print visible characters if I configure Evolution to use fonts with size 72. All other apps (Gnome Edit, Open Office) print without this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Print email in Evolution 2. Check Print Preview Actual Results: A bunch of dots appeared on the paper and the Print Preview, instead of propper sized chars. Expected Results: Printed the email with correct sized fonts

I am still trying to solve this, and I am more and more convinced that it's Evolution's fault. I tried to print an email to PDF, and I got the same small result. Here's a sample: http://corujo.kicks-ass.org/output.pdf (don't forget to zoom in)
What versions of pango, and libgnomeprint are you using? Does this problem persist in other applications you try to print from? (eg GEdit)
My versions are: libgnomeprint-2.8.2 pango-1.8.1 In Gnome Edit and Open Office all printing is fine.
Is this still a problem?
Sadly it still occurs. I had to change to Thunderbird...
You might want to try with the newest versions of pango/gnomeprint/evo, although it looks like you're no longer using Evo. Please re-open this report if the problem persists.
