accented letters disappearing when printing (SOLVED!)



Hi ARDI and others using executor, I had a problem when trying to print
any document with accented letters (I speak french so I make use of such
characters often) under executor. The accented characters would simply
disappear from the printout. I was/am using ghostscript and magicfilter
(I have a non-postscript printer) and upgrading to ghostscript 3.53 from
ghoscript 2.61 fixed that problem. I can now see those accented letters on
my printouts.. :) Compiling the new ghoscript was a bit time-consumming
but it was definitly worth it.. :) Thanks to ARDI for pointing out the solution
to me some time ago...  Time to learn Word for Mac running under E/L. :)

Now if someone has a good Xmodmap for typing out accented chars under X,
I'll gladly make use of it.. :)
