1. Only if the 'sans serif' (bundled with Mozilla?) is selected do I get proportional fonts when printing under Mozilla, even as root. Otherwise, if I select Verdana, for instance, I get only Courier fonts on printout.
2. I am not sure whether the preferences in user.js/unix.js for freetype and truetype in ~/.mozilla have any influence on the outcome.
3. Can I try Xprint out with another application other than Mozilla to see what output I get.
4. If it is an encodings problem,what should I do to further troubleshoot my setup?
Thanks.

I have some interesting information on this outstanding problem.
I sincerely hope someone reading this will give me advice to solve it.
When I log in as root and run mozilla, I can print proportional fonts using Xprint. Only when I run mozilla as (user) myself do I get the Courier only font problem mentioned in this thread.
I suspect that some environment variable or dotfile in my home directory is responsible for this difference in behaviour.
I note that the differences between root and myself may reside in one of the following dotfiles/dotfile directories in our respective home directories:
.defoma
.fonts.cache-1
.fonts.conf
.kde/share/config (some files here have [KPrinter Settings] that root does not have)
.mozilla/fonts/catalog (these were different, but moving files to make them identical did hot solve the problem)
.qt
.xftcache
This is an empirical approach because I do not have the theoretical knowledge of where to look for the problem and/or solution.
The one thing I am certain of is that the encodings.dir may not be the cause of the problem (see my previous e-mail) and also because proportional fonts are seen and printed for root.
There may also be useful info from "set" for root and myself.
I sincerely hope someone will reply this e-mail and help me track down this problem further.
Thank you.
