While this is often useful, I think it will not help here in this special case of the postscript library. When "lib/ps.l" wants to center a string, it sends the string and a formula involving 'stringwidth' and a field width to postscript, and must let the postscript interpreter do the work, as the Lisp code does not know the width that a string will finally consume on the printed page. This depends on many factors like the current font and the font size. Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picol...@software-lab.de?subject=unsubscribe
