Hi Mark, I've also had problems with kerning in the past + all my fonts printed bolder than they should do. It stopped being a problem when I changed distributions, although it is still not perfect now. I suspect there is (still) a problem with Qt. But printing in linux is apparently complicated. I think that nobody really can comment here unless they know what system, what printing system, what fonts etc you use. And if all this is correctly installed. There is a question about font replacement in the FAQ http://koffice.kde.org/faq/#InprintoutKOfficereplacessomeofmyfontswithdifferentfonts There is also http://www.linuxprinting.org/news.html and http://printing.kde.org/documentation/handbook/ These links may help you to learn where the problem is. Try also different fonts, from different founderies. I have installed some truetype fonts that came with Corel Draw and they work really well, but Arial from Microsoft and some other fonts from MS look look rather lousy.
