LS,

In the past it was possible to set the font and size for printing when using the Kate editor. Nowadays I have to copy a RO template, but you can't specify the font or it's size to be used for printing.

Current, I have the font size for the editor set at 8 pt, because that is the size I want to print. For editing I have to increase the font (Ctrl-+) for every document manually to make it readable at all. Is there a better way to have the two different font sizes by default?

what desktop what printer how do you print hplip/cups/... I set print font in the printer app and applications fonts within the app or system wide display. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?

When I want to print a text file, I copy its content into a print template, in between the <pre></pre> tags, and adjust the print size and font in the template before printing the file from a web browser:

Progress? In the past (and current KDE3) kwrite/kate print in the font size selected in the editor. You can explicitly set the header and footer font size independently with the [Choose Font] butter under the Header/Footer tab of the print dialog. If current kde isn't sending the selected font size information to the printer when you print -- that is a bug. If you think the recent Qt5/6 debacle has been scary ... just wait until Gtk4 (no + in name anymore -- the teacher would no longer give it one when it was turned in for a grade...). -- David C.

Yes, I can select the font size to be printed for the header/footer. Not for the body of the text, as it used to be in the past. --- Frans
