(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)
I'm not quite sure I understand the final paragraph there, but the
suggestion is that .ps files should be opened with
`adobe-standard-encoding' and not `iso-latin-1' if there's non-ASCII
characters in the file? Anybody got any comments on that?
