DESCRIPTION

Hello,

the postscript (ps, ps2) output driver of Dot does not support unicode characters. Please add support at least for en/em-dash which are in standard postscript fonts.

I would also appreciate spaces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_space. In Unicode, thin space is encoded at U+2009   thin space (HTML:    ). Unicode's U+202F   narrow no-break space (HTML:  ) is a non-breaking space with a width similar to that of the thin space.

Thank you HG
