Ah! Damn this English language; one man's "closely"
is another man's "not close enough" :-)

we can do any better with the current design. If it's a problem in your
case, you're out of luck, I'm afraid.
That's OK - I was just attempting to confirm
facts before wasting effort.
I may have to use ghostscript to render the postscript to get
a preview, sadly. I'd rather have stayed in one "world".
So help us improve FOP. Some time ago we started investigating a new

With my "general experience" hat on;
Sadly, this exchanges one problem for another. "proper" strings
are rather desirable when generating PDF and/or postscript,
since they facilitate compact (even elegant) representations,
*and* text searching or extraction later (should that be relevant).
It would (I freely admit) help my case greatly ;-)
