In that case, it might be something in how you set up the ps-mule
database. Perhaps it doesn't support more than one Latin-n set, I
never tried to do something like that myself, I only ever set it for a
single Latin character set.

Here again you are too eager to generalize, I think: a single font is
missing, and already this is ``not a feasible solution''. Given that
the current Emacs doesn't even support Unicode reasonably enough,
isn't it a tad too much to reject a package that covers most other
character sets?

I have a PostScript printer. If you really want to know which one of
these possibilities is true, send me the PS file and I will look.
