Looks like it might be the answer. No time to try it right now.
Possibly not. Changing pfn seems to have no effect. Setting gfn does have an effect. No spelling of DejaVu Sans Mono seems to have any effect, whether with 0, 2 or 3 escaped spaces. :set gfn=Helvectica does have an effect. :set pfn=Helvectica does have an effect. From print-to-file, Helvetica seems to be gedit's print font.
BTW where is Helvetica stored? It seems not to be under /usr/share/fonts . find /usr -name '*vetica*' doesn't.
Has anyone managed to change gvim's printer font? I've read documentation that says pfn works. I've read a statement that it does not, but at least its documented.
