Dear friends: I figured out an ad hoc solution to the problem of small fonts in Kmail. I discovered that when I tried to use my True Type fonts (added from Windows via DrakConf/Fonts), the print fonts were really tiny, barely legible and very hard on the eyes. Thanks to a tip from Andrew, I decided to experiment by using only Type 1 fonts. Bottom line: If you set the font in Kmail's Settings, Configuration, Appearance, Fonts to a font like Adobe helvetica, size 18, regular for "messaage body" (as opposed to "message list," etc.), you will get a moderately sized, readable printed text that is Adobe helvetica. The key seems to be to find the font that works with your printer in Kmail. The results is pleasant and acceptable. Hopefully, in the future Kmail will be able to do more, but this is good enough for the time being. However, when clicking on the printer icon in the toolbar, you should also change the letter size to "letter" (which is our American 11 x 8.5 standard size letter). KDE has set the default to A4, which is the European standard. Otherwise, you'll have serious problems printing, paper jamming, missing text, etc. OK, this is not quite as good as I would like it, but it is good enough for the time being.
