I'm using version 1.1.19 (upgraded to this version last night hoping 
to fix the problem, but no joy).  I know what font it's using because 
the font it's using is a highly stylized true type font that I have 
installed and it's pretty distinctive.  Curiously, in further poking 
around, I've noticed that if I double-click on a text field in the 
spreadsheet, the text in the cell that I've selected becomes the 
sylized font (called Abaddon) and when I deselect it, it goes back to 
Helvetica which is what I've told it to use in the first place.  This 
is very curious behavior.
