Is there any reason why GNU Emacs should send different PS code to=20= the *PostScript* buffer then to the printer queue? I wouldn't buy a printer without PostScript, so I do not have any need=20= to use gs between GNU Emacs or another application and the printer. And=20= it's modern enough to be able to print =80 or ISO 8859-16 glyphs. It's=20= CUPS that finally takes care for a good printout, being able to convert=20= text to PS too? There is just one need for gs: to view GNU Emacs' output or to convert=20= this output reliably to PDF. Apple's own pstopdf in Mac OS X fails as=20 does any other application when made to display this: they all first=20 need to convert PS to PDF to make it display (as "Display PDF") in=20 Quartz. -- Greetings Pete "Eternity is a terrible thought.
