Thanks, Lawrence. Here is Eli's answer:
It's a 2-step dance:
1. Frob the list in ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf to include an
association for Latin-9 (see ps-mule.el).
2. Install a Latin-9 BFD font (if you don't have it already).
(While at that, please submit the changes to ps-mule.el for inclusion in
a future release.)
Alternatively, if your printer can print Latin-9 directly, modify
ps-mule-font-info-database-latin to include an association for Latin-9.
Sounds simple but it puts me out of my depths, which, admittedly, are
very shallow. Some observations:
1. The problem exists with Gentoo GNU/Linux, not with Debian 3.0.
(Perhaps blissful Southwestern US Province influence; they would
anyway have preferred countinuing with 7bit ascii forever. ;-) )
2. Cannot find the verb "to frob" in my English dictionary.
3. Have a Postscript level 3 printer. How can I know if it "groks"
(he-he) Latin-9 directly?
So, to paraphrase Goethe's saying, I am as clever as before.
