This > is very curious behavior. I agree. I have 1.1.19, and I can't reproduce this behavior. I have a spreadsheet done in Arial. My default font is Bitstream Serif. When I click on a cell, the cell remains Arial. Only when I select Format->Cell->Font can I turn it to something else. Printing also seems to work quite well to HP LaserJets. You may want to comb through gconf-editor, and look at the Gnumeric settings, and see if something jumps out at you as being strange. If so, click on the key, and select "Unset key." (For example, under /apps/gnumeric/printing).
