I'm printing to a laserjet via cups, but the problem isn't with the
printer.  The wrong data is being sent to the printer (this is evident
from the "print preview").

I saw nothing in there that looked strange.  Actually, I didn't see
anything having to do with fonts at all.  I'm quite stumped by
this...could it be something that only happens on 5.x (I'm running
5.1-RELEASE...not sure if I remembered to mention that before).

Thank you for the tips and suggestions and I'll keep trying to get this
to work right.
