Aquamacs already does this. In fact, it does not expose the PS print functions, but instead a print function that sends PDF for printing to Preview. BTW, I cannot reproduce it. When I try something like ps-spool-buffer, I have no problems with the generated PS. But perhaps when you're using non-standard fonts, I can imagine that this indeed is a problem. When fonts are not included in the PS (and it seems that the ps-print-... and ps-spool-... functions indeed don't include them), then the PS is not guaranteed to be readable, and I can imagine that Apple's CoreGraphics conversion API (which is what Skim and almost certainly Preview and the pstopdf CLT use) cannot find some non-standard fonts. I don't think that would qualify of a bug of either tools, but I would rather blame the PS generator than Apple. I don't know if fonts is the problem, but I cannot imagine it's in the PS that's used itself, because the PS syntax is pretty much fixed (unlike PDF, which keeps being messed with by Adobe, and is much more messy than PS as a result).
