Plain text printing in Fedora Core 6 uses a filter based on paps
(http://paps.sourceforge.net), and because of the way it works it uses
different fonts.

If you like, you can switch back to the FC5 method of converting text to
PostScript by editing /etc/cups/mime.convs and relacing 'texttopaps'
with 'texttops'.
