Re: Print eight-bit-* characters with ps-print

[Richard Stallman]

    So I came up with the change below.  It doesn't really print the same
    glyphs you see on your screen--that's impossible without knowing what
    fonts are available to your printer or PostScript interpreter.  But at
    least the whining is gone, and for many cases, such as those \222
    characters and Latin-1 email messages sent as ``charset=US-ASCII'', it
    does DTRT.

It sounds like a good idea to me.
