for white on black ps-print generates white on white text

for white on black ps-print generates white on white text

[Jens Petersen]

To reproduce:

% emacs -q
  M-x set-foreground-color RET white RET
  M-x set-background-color RET black RET
  C-x C-f /usr/include/stdio.h
  C-u M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces RET ~/tmp/psprint.ps RET y
  C-x C-c
% gv ~/tmp/psprint.ps

and observe that the default font with white foreground is rendered
white on white in the ps file.

Setting
(setq ps-default-fg "black"
       ps-default-bg "white")
doesn't seem to help.

Hi Jens,


This problem is already fixed in ps-print version 6.6.5 (the latest).

Please, do:

   (setq ps-default-fg t)
   (setq ps-default-bg t)

So, ps-print will use the Emacs session foreground and background colors.

The default value for ps-default-fg is black and for ps-default-bg is white.

Some time ago the default for both variables were t, but this was an 
annoyance by some folk.  So, I changed the default values.

Please, see the ps-default-bg and ps-default-fg doc (C-h v ps-default-fg 
RET).

Also, the settings:

   (setq ps-default-fg "black")
   (setq ps-default-bg "white")

Work as a charm.

The latest ps-print can be downloaded from Emacs CVS repository or from:

Vinicius
