The upstream bug hasn't been addressed since June 18, 2009, apart from marking duplicate bugs.

I'd be happy to offer or contribute to a bounty to get this fixed.

There is a patch in the GNOME bug (2 in fact) and they fix the problem in a pretty trivial way. Can someone PLEASE apply the patch and build a package, maybe for a PPA?

Increases font size Edit (4.4 KiB, text/plain)

A fix for this problem is attached.

Since the original calendar code is a spaghetti maze of magic numbers and manual inconsistent tweaks, this patch just changes the tweaks a little to achieve a larger font size.

I've built packages for Natty and will try to create a PPA for it.

This bug is still present in the most recent version of Evolution listed in the Ubuntu Software Centre (3.2.3) on my 12.04 system.

Is there a more recent version available?

There are also a number of other bugs/faults relating to the printing of calendars:

1. Although the week starts on Monday on-screen, it starts on Sunday on the print-out (or Saturday/Sunday if "Compress weekends in month view" is ticked).
2. There is no day-of-the-week heading on the printout (especially necessary because of 1.).
3. The top couple of lines are lost in the printer's top margin, so it's not possible to see which month is being printed.
