Well, having eight-bit-* characters printed as octal escapes is less
than optimal. The code I posted does slightly better: it prints them
in the default font built into the PostScript printer (usually
Latin-1).
As I said, this is not 100% correct, but in many cases it matches what
you see on the screen. And it certainly is nicer than the octal
escapes.

I will look for a proper place, thanks.
