First I created a plain-text doc with some Markdown "markup"; my default font=
 is Monaco.  Then I used Bundles > Markdown > Preview, and got a very nice wi=
ndow created with some unkown (to me) sans-serif font.  I used cmd-P to print=
 this, and was surprised to find the printout used some strange (to me) serif=
'd font.  Same of course if I opted to print to pdf.

So as an experiment I tried adding my own <style> ... </style> containing Ver=
dana to the doc. Unsurprisingly the html was ignored by Markdown > Preview, s=
till had the nice ss font in that window, and print still used the strange se=
rif'd font.  No surprises there really.

Next, I could get the html handled by using Bundles > HTML > Open Doc in Runn=
ing Browser(s).  No surprises there.

Finally I tried altering Preferences > Fonts & Colors.  This affected the sou=
rce doc of course, but again made no difference to Markdown Preview or to Pri=
nt.

So what are the mysterious fonts used by Markdown Preview and Print?  I'd lik=
e to know what the "nice" sans-serif font used by Preview is, the only clue I=
 can offer is that a capital M has sloping sides. =20

But above all, what is this mysterious serif'd font used when I print the Pre=
view window, and  can I replace it?
