fonts for printing?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

kde 3.2.3, konstruct built.  And printing from kde is now possible, 
and older version of cups was the culprit.

I just went thru the motions of setting kwrite to a much smaller font 
for printing that I normally use for screen display as the screen 
here is 1600x1200x32 bit.

Unforch, when I hit print, the fonts reverted to 24pt, and its going 
to take 78 pages of 24 lb to print the nvidia.txt download.  It 
shoulda been maybe 10 pages on paper.  This is a huge waste of both 
paper and ink because every line is wrapped well into the next line 
on the paper, with fonts >1/4" tall, even the row of dashes for 
paragraph seperators is wrapped around by 3".

How can I make the selected 8 pt font 'stick' for printing without 
using it for the display too, which shrinks the text to unreadable 
lines about 2.6" long on my screen?

TIA.
