How does this work with other software which produces PostScript? Does PostScript have a way to ask the printer to reorder the text? if so, how? Or is the program that generates PS supposed to reorder the text? In the latter case, we need to modify ps-print to do that. > I use this in my .emacs: Can you explain why and how this does the job? Is there something special in djvmono.bdf font? Or am I missing the part that reorders the bidirectional text?
