Fonts for some characters not found

Fonts for some characters not found

[A. L. Meyers]

Hi!  When trying to print a text file containing Latin-1 characters,
e. g. ä, ö, ü, using the "Postscript Print Buffer" item in the menu, I
consistently get the error message:

Fonts for some characters not found.  Continue?

Continuing just puts in small boxes instead of the characters.

How can I solve this pesky problem, please?

What version of Emacs is that?

I encounter this problem when printing a file with iso8859-15 encoded
characters. Is it the same problem as yours ?

The following fix this problem.

(add-to-list 'ps-mule-font-info-database
	     '(latin-iso8859-15
	       (normal nil nil iso-latin-15)))

Bye,

Adding your code to my ~/.emacs.el returns the following debugger error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable ps-mule-font-info-database)
  add-to-list(ps-mule-font-info-database (latin-iso8859-15 (normal nil nil iso-latin-15)))

Thanks anyway.  Ideas on what I should try next?

Greetings,

The obvious: load the library that defines that variable before you try
to reference it:


(require 'ps-mule)
