I have `mfps' for Meta-File to PostScript, which generates reasonable PostScript documents. The only problem is What-You-See-is-NOT-exactly-What-You-Get! GEM fonts are NOT PostScript fonts! Text on the printer is not spaced as it is on the screen, but it's doable. Either get PostScript font metric files for GEM, or vice-versa. If I remember correctly, mfps is a European product, Germany I believe. And also it was posted some time ago (before I received news). Maybe, somebody has saved the posted version; mines' slightly older. Ralph P.
