Here is Eli's answer: It's a 2-step dance: 1. Frob the list in ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf to include an association for Latin-9 (see ps-mule.el). 2. Install a Latin-9 BFD font (if you don't have it already). (While at that, please submit the changes to ps-mule.el for inclusion in a future release.) Alternatively, if your printer can print Latin-9 directly, modify ps-mule-font-info-database-latin to include an association for Latin-9. Sounds simple but it puts me out of my depths, which, admittedly, are very shallow. Some observations: 1. The problem exists with Gentoo GNU/Linux, not with Debian 3.0. (Perhaps blissful Southwestern US Province influence; they would anyway have preferred countinuing with 7bit ascii forever. ;-) ) 2. Cannot find the verb "to frob" in my English dictionary. 3. Have a Postscript level 3 printer. How can I know if it "groks" (he-he) Latin-9 directly? So, to paraphrase Goethe's saying, I am as clever as before.
