In postscript, the new lshow is very slow, though occasionally worth it.
I recommend that you not make it the default, just edit the file to use it
instead when you want to make a final print.

Also, the posted version is not great.  A better version is:
/lshow {true charpath gsave 1 setgray 1 setlinewidth stroke grestore fill} def

I recommend that you edit starpost.c accordingly.

There are more changes in the works; if you use postscript and have suggestions
or ideas, please write to me before putting any work into it.

Thanks,
Craig
