CUPS should be able to convert every type of input to the correct =20 output data stream =96 once the printer driver is correctly installed =20= and all necessary resources are installed as well. > The postscript of the simple example converts to pdf which DOES =20 > contain the backquote.

Interestingly in doc-view-mode the not visible ` in the PDF file is =20 rendered in the PNG output as ` =96 which seems to second my assumption =20= about character mapping. But it does not explain why one PS source =20 produces the correct PDF output... > > Of course the two pdfs are different.

Yes, something in the PS file might trigger the insertion of a CMap =20 into the PDF output. Dave, let's try this: you launch Emacs with -Q and create a bug report =20= about ps-print that you send to GNU Emacs developers (and maybe why =20 only gs is able to convert the PS output to PDF or something else). =20 And I'll try to report the gs bug. OK? BTW, I had no success in preserving the backquote or backtick! -- Greetings Pete Time flies like an error =96 but fruit flies like a banana! - (almost) Groucho Marx
