I had this problem intermittently - I found the cause this morning, in fact - It's because your computer thinks it's 2038! -- Christian Ludlam christ...@recoil.org

Not be me at least -- it was bad enough fixing PDriverDP without direct access to either a printer or, perhaps more usefully, a RISC OS machine. I don't have time to wade through the thousands of pages of PostScript language specification to work out what's required. This effort would be most certainly wasted, anyway, as people who are already experts in dealing with PostScript are working on improving PostScript printing. There might be something you can do in NetSurf to get PostScript printing working - Kevin Bracey had a couple of suggestions when I was adding Unicode support to ZapRedraw: Yes, it's mapping the stuff to PostScript fonts that's the problem. Lots of work from a PostScript guru needed there. It might require PostScript 3 to make it work. I think we're talking at cross-purposes here. You said UCS support in VDU mode, so I assumed you meant using the system font, which can be achieved using the Service_International call to redefine character as UCS character . Browse could do this - it sort of used characters 80-FF of the system font as a cache of recently needed characters, which it fetched on demand using Service_International during its redraw loop. It then restored them to their original definition at the end of the redraw. This worked rather well with PostScript printing - the PostScript printer driver does a very intelligent job of handling system font and its redefinition. It doesn't yet support UTF8. Still. Makes an amusing technical challenge, I reckon, so ZapRedraw does the same thing when plotting in the system font. I think Browse would reprogram the system font size too (using VDU 23,17,7 or whatever). Good stuff. -- Christian Ludlam [EMAIL PROTECTED]
