John,

First let me clarify:  This is pure SWAG!  And may be worth what it
costs you!  But, on the other hand, it *may* also help fix the problem.
OK, enough of the disclaimers...

1)  Have you checked the default font for your new printer.  I'm not
sure PMMail/2 sets any particular font, but it may.  Therefore, you may
be getting the default and it may not be what you need/want.

2)  On the chance that PMMail/2 *may* be setting a font, it may be
picking the font from the default font that is set for the text in your
message window.  I have no idea what the default window font is, but
you can set it by using the Font Pallet.  [Select the font and drag it
to the portion of the PMMail/2 window where you want to set the font.]

So, if all else fails, try some of this experimentation.

Carl

BTW, other than the PMMail printing issue, how do you like Kyocera
printer products?  I currently have a 7-year old Lexmark laser with
duplexing that I am afraid may need replacing soon.
