So you installed some ttfs, and if you print a .pdf all is ok, but if

Yes, that is pretty much it.

I use the following fonts.
$> apt-cache policy ttf-indic-fonts
ttf-indic-fonts:
Installed: 1:0.5.1
Candidate: 1:0.5.1
Version table:
*** 1:0.5.1 0
500 ftp://gulus.usherbrooke.ca testing/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


How do you generate your .pdf compared with your .ps, or is it a menu
choice, which unfortunately hides all the gory details.

From within OOo from a menu, it exports the odt file directly to PDF.


What happens if you generate your .pdf (which seems to include the
fonts) then use a converter (there are several) to generate a ps from
that? Are there any that don't use gs, that would use the fonts in the
pdf file?

This may sound stupid (but it may work): there's a pdf to html converter
that turns each pdf page into a graphic that then a browser can display.
Would this round-about method work if the image could then be turned
into a ps?
