Change the font! Use one with a visible = backquote. Character Palette can help, Font Book as well with a personal = text palette.


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:

=46rom the = header and prologue of the PostScript file you saved you can exactly = determine which font is used for printing the backquote (GRAVE ACCENT, = U+0060) and the other Lisp code. In GNU Emacs you can customise the use = of fonts.
