I found what I needed. It's actually a choice on the General tab of the 
Report Options dialog. There's a drop-down for Stylesheet that I missed 
somehow. Pretty obvious, really. If I can't read the html output, one 
would think I would check the Stylesheet option. But I just didn't see 
it. Maybe partially because I might have expected that option to be on 
the Display tab of the dialog.

For some reason the default setting produces white-on-white when using 
the dark "Dusk" gtk theme. But both the Easy and the Technicolor 
stylesheet choices in that drop-down produce usable reports on the screen.

As I said earlier, the printed reports were already just fine.

Thank you again for your response.
