I agree.  I have 1.1.19, and I can't reproduce this behavior.  I have a
spreadsheet done in Arial.  My default font is Bitstream Serif.  When I
click on a cell, the cell remains Arial.  Only when I select
Format->Cell->Font can I turn it to something else.  Printing also seems
to work quite well to HP LaserJets.

You may want to comb through gconf-editor, and look at the Gnumeric
settings, and see if something jumps out at you as being strange.  If
so, click on the key, and select "Unset key."  (For example, under
/apps/gnumeric/printing).
