    Hi Eric,

    Thanks for the command, I gave it a try and got the following message:

    chkfontpath: /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts already in list

    The document still prints in the one font type and won't change to another. I can change the font on the document and see the changes but when I print it stays only with cursive type and won't accept the font changes I have made in the document itself. The font problem I am having is only with printing. While editing the document or doing a new document I can change fonts but as soon as I print, it will only do cursive.

    Thanks
    Ashley
