I've just installed Stephen Frede's TPSCRIPT troff to postcript
filter on my machine and I'm having a few problems.

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.
