Thanks, Pete.

I am trying to use Courier. I don't know how to choose any of the fonts you suggested, because to my knowledge the font choices for ps-print are limited. Here is a quote from the emacs website:

The variable ps-font-family specifies which font family to use for printing ordinary text. Legitimate values include Courier,         Helvetica,NewCenturySchlbk, Palatino and Times. 

There is mention of using BDF fonts for foreign languages, but I am not sure that is the answer. Also, I am puzzled because I thought Courier had a grave accent anyway.
