Here is additional information:

I have Red Hat on /dev/hda. Netscape prints perfectly there.

When I print to a file (.ps) in Netscape, and subsequently print the
item via gs, the fonts are still huge.

How do I control the printed font size in ghostview ? This seems to be
the crux of the matter.

( Are .pdf files printed via gs ?)

I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,
