My problem is that the Postscript generated references a lot of fonts which aren't installed -- even though they are supposedly standard on PS printers. Is there a way to centrally configure the set of fonts that can be used for PS output? (I mean: centrally - not specifically for each mode defining its own faces.) Alternatively, is there a package that would allow me to print to PDF directly? If I could print PDF, I could make printing perfectly comfortable through the OS's standard print dialogs. If I could print compatible PS, I could use on-board tools to convert to PDF and then display and print. As it stands now, I can only print directly to the default PS printer without a chance to control / check the progress or preview the output. Thanks for all suggestions!
