[cgreek:00337] psprint and new glyphs



Sorry, I've lost your reply to my last inquiry, so can't make
reference to it.

I have discovered what I was missing to get psprint to work and now
send you the steps I took to enable psprint on my system, so that you
can perhaps incorporate them in your guide to using cgreek21.

1. Move the bdf file to a standard location such as
   /usr/local/share/emacs/fonts/bdf

2. Tell emacs where the bdf directory is by adding these lines to your
.emacs file:
(setq bdf-directory-list
      '("/usr/local/share/emacs/fonts/bdf"))

3. Tell psprint to use the bdf font when necessary by setting the
variable `ps-multibyte-buffer' to `bdf-font' or
`bdf-font-except-latin'. This is what I was missing to get ps-printing
with cgreek21 to work. I used the customization buffer in emacs to set
this variable, which appears auto-generated at the end of my .emacs
file as:

'(ps-multibyte-buffer (quote bdf-font-except-latin))

4. Move the ps-*.el files (three of them) to the relevant emacs `lisp'
   directory on your system -- *but only if necessary*. A new version
   of emacs will have up-to-date .el files already in position, making
   this step unnecessary for most people.

Hope this comes in useful,
