[Qgis-developer] Print composer bugs

Hi Steven,

I'm using kubuntu 7.04, Qt-4.2.3. There is no problem for me with the font. 
The text looks as it should.

Great! Looking forward to the patches.
And even if it turns out you don't have much time after July, some casual 
bugfixes then may still be very valuable for the QGIS project.

In my opinion, fixing bugs is one of the most important things for qgis. So 
the bug tracker is the first point to look at. 

There is also the poll about most wanted features for 0.9:

Regards and thanks for your work,
