That's my font, too. So where are the differences between your and my
setup, that could cause this?
Settings / Mail Preferences
[ ] use the same fonts as other applications
Terminal Font: Luxi Mono, 8pt

Sure, you are right.

Printing issue: Uses the first font in alphabet. Seems unrelated.
Gnome default: Not sure, feels unrelated too, IMHO.
The big question is: *How* can fonts be rendered different? The reason
seems even not to be related to the font (as we use the same).
