+;; ps-print can print multi-byte buffer.
+;;
+;; If you are using only Latin-1 characters, you don't need to do anything else.
+;;
+;; If you have a japanese or korean PostScript printer, you can print ASCII,
+;; Latin-1, Japanese (JISX0208, and JISX0201-Kana) and Korean characters by
+;; setting:
+;;
+;;	(setq ps-mule-font-info-database ps-mule-font-info-database-ps)
+;;
+;; At present, it was not tested the korean characters printing.  If you have
+;; a korean PostScript printer, please verify it.
+;;
+;; If you use any other kind of character, you need to install intlfonts-1.1.
+;; So you can print using BDF fonts contained in intlfonts-1.1.  To print using
+;; BDF fonts, do the following settings:
+;;
+;;   (1) Set the variable `bdf-directory-list' appropriately (see bdf.el for
+;;       documentation of this variable).
