Hello!

The missing part is printing. A second missing particle is SVG  
support (via librsvg or such), as in GNU Emacs 23.0.50 and 23.0.60,  
the Unicode-2 branch.


The File menu has a few print entries. None of them works really well  
with Unicode text, or graphics. PostScript supports only 8-bit  
encodings (with CID keyed PostScript fonts or OpenType fonts it might  
work to print 16-bit encodings), so Carbon Emacsen use a work-around:  
they htmlize the text buffer's contents (with http:// 
piprim.tuxfamily.org/home/pi/emacs.d/site-lisp/htmlize-view.el and  
http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/htmlize.el, http:// 
www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PrintWithWebBrowser) and pass this via  
the (hidden as /Applications/Carbon Emacs.app/Contents/Library/ 
coral.app) Coral application (http://hmdt-web.net/coral/) to Mac OS  
X's printing sub-system. This is done using the /System/Library/ 
Printers/Libraries/convert programme that converts its input to  
something (mime-type) that CUPS understands and can send right away  
to the printer. Since the Mac OS X print panel comes up, a much  
greater and much more useful set of choices is given to the user.

This integration is missing. And I am also missing a way to print  
graphics files, either from dired or an image or doc view buffer.  
Coral supports PNG, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, and PDF.
