Yes, this is very annoying, because the workaround (temporarily setting smaller font size in Konqueror, \
print, resetting original font size) is a pain.

I agree with comment#4, and would go even further: there should be a specific 'print font' menu, where \
the user could specify font family _and_ size for all fonts. The reason is that some fonts print well and \
render less well on a screen and vice versa. In terms of presentation, I suggest two tabs (Display \
Fonts/Printing Fonts), each of them containing the font menu (Standard/Fixed/Serif/Sans \
serif/Cursive/Fantasy).

In addition, KDE could be smarter for the default behaviour, when no printing fonts are explicitely set. \
The reason why there is a size discrepancy in the first place is that screen resolution (available in the \
'Info Center', or simply with `xdpyinfo | grep resolution`) is different from printing resolution. \
Printing resolution is, I think, assumed to be 72dpi, and screen resolution is usually higher (for \
example 101x101 on a 21" 1600x1200 screen). So the right thing to do by default is to dynamically correct \
by the ratio screen/print resolution.
