It is frustrating. printing from evolution results in documents with fonts that are much too large. By too large, what do you mean? Any chance of answering this? ^ Does the print preview show the same size fonts? YES What happens if you print to a (pdf) file? Same large fonts. OK. Print some none-confidential email (such as this one) to a PDF file and then send the PDF to the list - that way we can see what is happening with the printing.

When scaling a line without a line break, nevertheless the line doesn't fit the width of the paper.

I am in FC20 using evolution-3.10.4-3.f20.x86-64 for me, Edit-Preferences-Mail Preferences-General tab- changing standard font and fixed width font values results in printing in different font/size. Note that this also changes the font/size that is used for display. reid ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I think the same, perhaps 72 instead of 80 chars and fixed fonts vs proportional fonts, but it might be smarter to use a common point size 10 to 12 instead to fit to the paper size, anyway, then it likely wouldn't fit to the width of the paper. HTML or a PDF might be the way to go. For better formatting copy and paste to an editor or office program might be the best solution. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I am in FC20 using evolution-3.10.4-3.f20.x86-64 I'm pretty sure that this is a Gnome setting (i.e. not a Preference within Evo), but I use Evo with KDE so I don't know any more than that.
