print eastern glyphs (was: 未承諾広告※サイドビジネスの決定版です！)

Hi,

when i try to ps-print such a message or (A P or C-u A P) Emacs objects that
«Font for some characters not found, continue anyway? (y or n)»
If i continue,  the resulting document obviously shows  empty boxes in place
of japanese glyphs.

What  should i  do  to support  printing  of japanese,  chinese or  cyrillic
fonts ? They already display correctly at screen.

I use currently carbon-emacs on osx but also emacs within gnu/linux.

Thanks for any pointer.

Add the following lisp code to ~/.emacs, please.

(setq ps-multibyte-buffer 'non-latin-printer)

And also, take a look at ps-mule.el (PREFIX/share/emacs/VERSION/lisp). You would 
find the description about what you want to know.

HTH,

Thank you  for the answer  but that  did not helped  me totally :  with that
statement, printing failed by  complaining that ps-mule-chars-in-string is a
void function.

After  googling  a  little,  i  have  found some  recent  changes  from  the
developpers in  ps-mule.el that  made me try  the following (i  am currently
using the cvs version):

 (progn
       (defalias 'ps-mule-next-point '1+)
       (defalias 'ps-mule-chars-in-string 'Length)
       (defalias 'ps-mule-string-char 'aref)
       (defsubst ps-mule-next-index (str i) (1+ i)))

I then can  ps-print the buffer, but eastern glyphs  are replaced by western
letters :(

BTW  : i  think i  may forward  the ps-mule-chars-in-string  problem  to the
emacs-devel list...
