After that I chose the newly-appering fontset from Options->SetFont/
Fontset, but when I ps-spool-buffer, it comes back reporting all the
Turkish characters in text unprintable.
The problem has many different layers ...
The fontsets you define are only a helpful means for presenting
(displaying) the encoded characters from the file in some window in
GNU Emacs. Printing the (still unchanged) file's contents or its view
in a GNU Emacs buffer is completely independent from this. And it
gives you two new problems: you'll need to find at least one font
that contains the Turkish glyphs and you'll need to provide a
PostScript encoding for Turkish/ISO 8859-9/ISO Latin-7.
The first PostScript problem, the font, is the big problem, from my
point of view: I don't know of a PostScript font with Turkish glyphs
like:
; oct dec hex UCS2 UTF-8

The PostScript encoding problem is at least solved in GNU Emacs
23.0.60 from CVS. If you had this version (I presume you are using
GNU Emacs 22.1 or elder) you could set up proper PostScript fonts to
use via the customisation interface. Then all could be fine.
In the meantime you can use a perfect work-around: htmlize-view.el by
Lennart Borgmann (http://
piprim.tuxfamily.org/home/pi/emacs.d/site-lisp/htmlize-view.el ?) and
htmlize.el by Hrvoje Nikšić (http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/
htmlize.el). Htmlize-view creates an HTML buffer by means of htmlize.
This buffer is sent to your web browser. Now you can print from the
browser in (complete) Unicode, using your system's capabilities,
which are more elaborate than GNU Emacs.
If you can't find htmlize-view.el I can send you my copy privately.
BTW, you know that the ps-spool-* commands don't print but just
create *PostScript* buffers?
