I would be glad if this was tested on different operating systems.
On Mac OS X 10.3.9 it works extremly well: I can see € and many other
glyphs from ISO 8859-15 or ISO 8859-16 encoded texts. In Carbon Emacs
it's almost impossible to view a text correctly when it's not held in
some proprietary Mac encoding. htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el change
all the empty rectangles into visible glyphs. Colours and features like
bold or italic shape are preserved.
As a final test I opened in Carbon Emacs the file utf8.txt from the
Kermit distribution. It has coded the first 64K Unicode glyphs. Since I
have fonts for almost each code point I could see all these glyphs in
my browser. And it's very easy and free of problems (until now, but
this, of course, can change) to print them into a PDF file.
I think htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el have the potential to become the
default print method for Carbon Emacs. And it should be possible to
write a little (Objective) C programme to convert HTML to PDF without
an Internet browser, since Apple provides powerful APIs.
