Hi,

Have you tried setting printencoding to macroman?

Yes, and the result is the same.

Well it was worth a shot.

The reason you see the upside-down question marks is because VIM
converts the buffer content from utf-8 to latin1, but the latin1
character set does not include the left and right single quotes and VIM
will change them to upside-down quotes so they stand out.  On Macs there
is special code to convert utf-8 to Mac encoding where the left and
right quotes exist, so that should work for you.  Unfortunately I don't
have access to a Mac to confirm this.

I do not know much about print encondings, but... wouldn't it be
possible to define new print encodings, namely a UTF-8 print encoding?

That would make life easier, but history is against you I'm afraid.

Would you care to elaborate? Is PostScript the problem? If so, can Vim
bypass generating a PostScript file?

My current workaround is to use :TOhtml then print the resulting HTML
from a browser, but I'd like to have a direct way.

That would be nicer.  I'll raise it on the vim dev list as I have some
ideas.

Great :) That is a minor annoyance (I do not need to print often), but
it would be nice if the process could be streamlined.

Thanks,
Life.
