Version: 4.5.8 (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.4 OS: Linux This may be dup of or related to 85259. Kwrite and kate always use the default font when printing. The selected font shows up correctly on the screen, but both print-preview and the actual printed page always use the default font, cheq 12pt. Printing the file in kedit works fine.
I haven't got 3.5.8, but 3.5.9 correctly selects the font specified in the kate schema you select in the text layout tab of the printing options. I have never experienced problems with that feature since I wrote it. Please check that you use the schema for which you set the font for printing.
No feedback, therefor assuming that works, like Anders says.
