I meant two different buffers.  One containing _only_ Latin-1, the
other _only_ Latin-9 characters.

Sure, but I couldn't find this file neither in SuSE 9.2 or 10.0 nor on
a Debian GNU/Linux box.  Unless most of the major GNU/Linux
distributions include the required BDF fonts, using `bdf-font' is not
a feasible solution for end users.

Possible.  Or the created PS file is invalid.
