|  Yes, of course, that's why we state it preliminary zooming support.

ok :-)

Indeed, results are better with PS Type1 font, but still everything looks 
strange...

Any chance to have it in KOffice 1.2?
In current state, KSpread's printing is unusable, so without fix for it it's 
better not to release KSpread at all!..

Yes!

I will send you test document off-list.
