If not, that's the reason for the empty box instead of the Euro. Also, the font database in ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf seems like the font for Latin-9 characters is not set. Alternatively, if you can find a BDF Latin-9 font and install it, your text should print okay. > (The same with `ps-multibyte-buffer' to 'bdf-font or > 'bdf-font-except-latin) This isn't supposed to work: 'bdf-font-except-latin is for Latin-1 characters, not for Latin-9. But if your printer has Latin-9 fonts, you could use 'bdf-font-except-latin if you modify ps-mule-font-info-database-latin to handle Latin-9 instead of Latin-1.

So, even if Latin-9 is not supported because Intlfonts doesn't have a font for it, it doesn't mean only Latin-1 is supported. Try printing Latin-2, Latin-3, Cyrillic, Thai, Japanese, etc.
