Interesting. At any rate, I'll pass this info along to see if it can be 
determined WTF SourceView's trying to do here.

The fact that it worked with different functions there did surprise me. My 
assumption (not having a good idea on how ordinal importing works) was that, 
at this point, it's just checking for the presence of a function but not 
executing it. Very little of the application works under WINE, so I'm not 
able to actually test out printing currently.

Given the above, I agree there's no point in assigning ordinals to those two 
functions.

Thanks for the additional info. At a minimum, it's highlighted a possible 
printing problem we'll have to look in to.
