Actually, PDF is mostly a binary version of PostScript output. A kind of a vector graphics format. So PDF is very closely tied to PostScript and PDF has some of the same constraints. The main difference is that PDF also has the ability to incorporate fonts into the file (after some conversion). > With Kate, for example, I can select 'Print' and than 'Microsoft print > to PDF' and this produces a PDF with the font used by Kate. On Windows, the Windows printer driver does all the heavy (very heavy!) lifting. Emacs does not want to do that, because those kind of drivers do not exist on Linux, BSD etc. The printing architecture there is constructed differently. Again there are most likely external tools that can even be called from Emacs to just do this. You do not have to use ps-print. benny
