I propose the attached patch (ps.diff) to solve the remaining
problems with PostScript output of Latin characters.
It outputs exactly all of the unicode Latin 
and Latin 1-supplement codepages (0-0xFF) and most of the Latin
Extended-A codepage (0x100-0x17F), plus the euro symbol.
The content of all PostScript output files is strict ASCII.
Missing glyphs are replaced by the inverse question mark.

I also attached a test program: testLatinPS.cxx that displays
on screen all these characters and allows to reproduce that in a
PostScript file.

The method is to define a 2-byte encoding of standard fonts
that follows exactly unicode from 0 to 0x17F, to fill it with all
glyphs available in PostScript standard fonts, with reverse
quotation marks for the few missing glyphs, and to assign
the Euro symbol to one of the unused cells of the unicode
standard (0x80).

This method could be relatively easily extended to support 
non-latin scripts, if I find some such PostScript fonts.
