Yes, this I have noted and have therefore commented out G in config.pdf
Which softwares has bugs that make character-switching necessary?

I, for another reason, updated to the latest teTeX beta (2002-04-02) and
the dvips version included is:
> dvips --version
dvips(k) 5.86g
kpathsea version 3.3.7
Or did I misunderstand and it is texlive who has the updated dvips?
