In answer to one of your questions, I cannot send the ps file
directly to the printer because I do not have a postscript printer.
CUPS should be able to convert every type of input to the correct
output data stream – once the printer driver is correctly installed
and all necessary resources are installed as well.
The postscript of the simple example converts to pdf which DOES
contain the backquote. When I print out this pdf, the backquote
prints correctly, as I wish.
The postscript generated by ps-print does NOT show up as a
backquote, either on the screen or when printed.
Interestingly in doc-view-mode the not visible ` in the PDF file is
rendered in the PNG output as ` – which seems to second my assumption
about character mapping. But it does not explain why one PS source
produces the correct PDF output...
Of course the two pdfs are different. But the reason for the
difference obviously lies in the postscript files used to create the
pdfs.
Yes, something in the PS file might trigger the insertion of a CMap
into the PDF output.
Dave, let's try this: you launch Emacs with -Q and create a bug report
about ps-print that you send to GNU Emacs developers (and maybe why
only gs is able to convert the PS output to PDF or something else).
And I'll try to report the gs bug. OK?
BTW, I had no success in preserving the backquote or backtick!
