Let's start again. In answer to one of your questions, I cannot send the ps file directly = to the printer because I do not have a postscript printer. You must know = that one cannot send postscript directly to a non-postscript printer and = get the expected results. My only option is to use ghostscript, either = with pdf or the printer as output device. I am using ghostscript 9.0. I have two postscript files. One I created by hand (it is the simple = example I posted earlier). The second one was created by ps-print. I converted both of these to pdf using exactly the same process. That = is, I used the ps2pdfwr script (which call gs), but I altered ps2pdfwr = to take out the -dSAFER option. The postscript of the simple example converts to pdf which DOES contain = the backquote. When I print out this pdf, the backquote prints = correctly, as I wish. The postscript generated by ps-print does NOT show up as a backquote, = either on the screen or when printed. Of course the two pdfs are different. But the reason for the difference = obviously lies in the postscript files used to create the pdfs. I will send you the files off the list. Best, - Dave -
