I'm printing some text in the Courier font, using
libgnomeprint 1.115.0

font = gnome_font_find_closest("Courier", 11);

printing line by line with

gnome_print_show(gpc, linebuf);

The text is not coming out monospaced at the printer,
although the Courier font is being used.  For example,
the string "154" comes out narrower than "062".  It's
noticeable that the glyph "1" is taking up less
horizontal space than "0", or in other words the
font metrics used in composing the line are screwy.

This problem did not occur with libgnomeprint.so.15.1.11
under gnome 1.4.

Allin Cottrell.
