No, I am talking about the bit below...

... here, where I have Trinity set as the print font and as
the text font, ie on screen display. I find this much easier
on the eye than Corpus.

I can switch to Corpus if someone has sent an e-mail that
depends on mono-spacing for comprehension.

Trying it now, I see why I have 'Use printer's text font'
ticked.

If I leave it unticked, I get the error 'Undefined font
handle (print cancelled)'. Worse, clicking on OK freezes the
entire machine most of the time, requiring a full reset.

I suspect I discovered this years ago, left 'Use printer's
text font' ticked and long ago forgot why.
