Subject: 28.0.50; pr-ps-... does not print certain accented characters, bust
 shows question marks instead
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 21:09:55 +0200
Dear Emacs developers,

when printing via ps-print-... I realized, that some
accented characters, namely

- capital letter L slash
- small letter n acute
- small letter o acute
- small letter z acute

are exchanged for question marks.

Way to reproduce

With attached file test.txt do:
emacs -Q test.txt --eval '(pr-ps-buffer-preview 1)

Perhaps the problem lies somewhere in the software stack
used to actually print.


As a workaround I was forced to use LibreOffice instead of
exported org-mode documents.


Thanks for looking into this, Gregor
