But if you have I think the most common situation nowadays for home-use is that the printer is not using postscript. Under Unix it makes no difference since most printing systems will use ghostscript for you anyway, but on w32 that's not the case, so the question is really "how can get fontified printouts in w32 without a postscript printer". Maybe the best answer is indeed to tell people to install ghostscript, but then the Emacs installer should make that clear and easy. Stefan
