No. They all look OK on the screen, but not on the printer.
The Default looks different on the screen and on the printer from the other
two, but too big in either case. The Easy and Technicolor look identical on
the screen, and are identical on the printer as well. HP photosmart 7260 if
that matters.

I infer there is none in GnuCash.

I did that, and I infer that they think monkeying around with
gnome-control-center should fix it. I tried that, and can make lots of
changes in font size, font, and so on. These all work on the screen, but
none of them make any difference on the printout.

It always prints with a Serif, even though the font requested (and displayed
on the screen is Sans. I change the size from 8 point to 16 point, and see
the corresponding changes on the screen, but not on the printer.
