fonts for printing?

[Goffioul Michael]

kwrite uses 2 different schemas for viewing and printing, so you can have
2 different font sizes. In the kwrite options dialog, go to the
"Fonts & Colors" section and to the "Font" tab. The current schema is
mentionned in the above combobox. Just select the wanted font size for
printing.
