Well, that's useless if the .PS file generated by executor is incorrect. 
Try printing any font above 20pt in MS Word 5.1a. Only the first letter 
shows up. I don't know if it works for you, but it doesn't for me. Also, 
I don't know if my gs is setup incorrectly, but output through gs looks 
pretty crappy at 600dpi even with genuine Adobe type 1 fonts. It's not 
matter of it will work, but how well it works.
