When I filter a simple troff file, tpscript complains about unknown fonts (S1 and GR) and the resulting postcript translation file contains non-ascii characters (and this I assume is bad). I edited out the non-ascii chars and just for fun sent it down to my laser printer. The results fall fall short of representing the correct output. However, in general the postcript file looks pretty good and I suspect that perhaps I'm missing some subtle setup or invocation parameter. I'd love too here from anyone who has the slightest idea of what might be wrong and perhaps we might be able to improve the startup documentation in a way so that the less than guru-capable users (like myself) can use this package. Thanks in advance, rich.
