+;; About ps-mule
+;; -------------
+;;
+;; This package is used for ps-print to print multi-byte buffer.
+;;
+;; See also ps-print.el.
+;;
+;;
+;; Printing Multi-byte Buffer
+;; --------------------------
+;;
+;; The variable `ps-multibyte-buffer' specifies the ps-print multi-byte buffer
+;; handling.
+;;
+;; Valid values for `ps-multibyte-buffer' are:
+;;
+;;  nil                     This is the value to use when you are printing
+;;			    buffer with only ASCII and Latin characters.
+;;
+;;  `non-latin-printer'     This is the value to use when you have a japanese
+;;			    or korean PostScript printer and want to print
+;;			    buffer with ASCII, Latin-1, Japanese (JISX0208 and
+;;			    JISX0201-Kana) and Korean characters.  At present,
+;;			    it was not tested the Korean characters printing.
+;;			    If you have a korean PostScript printer, please,
+;;			    test it.
+;;
+;;  `bdf-font'              This is the value to use when you want to print
+;;			    buffer with BDF fonts.  BDF fonts include both latin
+;;			    and non-latin fonts.  BDF (Bitmap Distribution
+;;			    Format) is a format used for distributing X's font
+;;			    source file.  BDF fonts are included in
+;;			    `intlfonts-1.1' which is a collection of X11 fonts
+;;			    for all characters supported by Emacs.  In order to
+;;			    use this value, be sure to have installed
+;;			    `intlfonts-1.1' and set the variable
+;;			    `bdf-directory-list' appropriately (see ps-bdf.el
+;;			    for documentation of this variable).
+;;
+;;  `bdf-font-except-latin' This is like `bdf-font' except that it is used
+;;			    PostScript default fonts to print ASCII and Latin-1
+;;			    characters.  This is convenient when you want or
+;;			    need to use both latin and non-latin characters on
+;;			    the same buffer.  See `ps-font-family',
+;;			    `ps-header-font-family' and `ps-font-info-database'.
+;;
+;; Any other value is treated as nil.
+;;
+;; The default is nil.
