I've been working (but slowly) on using TTF font directly from ps-print, and just finished the first version of such a tool (ps-ttf.el; yet another external library for ps-print). It basically generates a Type42 PostScript font from TTF (defining only glyphs necessary for printing the current text) and embed it in the output. But, it requires a PostScript printer to support TrueType rasterizer (i.e. version 2013 or the later), and also requires several backward compatibility issues for version yanger than 3011. I tried to address those backward compatibility issues, but as I don't have an old PostScript printer, I'm not sure how well it works. So, I'd like to ask you to print the attached PostScript file on PostScript printers around you. As recent ghostscript has no problem on handling it, if your printer is drived by ghostscript, you should be able to get the correct result. The file is created on emacs-unicode-2 by (ps-print-buffer "~/temp.ps") on *Character List* buffer for cyrillic-iso8859-5 using FreeMono.ttf (http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/). --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
