Patrick/TeXmacs users,

I went to the posting above, but do not see a solution.

    2. The ps2pdf script is not part of TeXmacs. The best solution to
the problem
    would be to compare the postscript output of LaTeX with the TeXmacs
output
    on a simple "Hello world" text and investigate whether there are 
    additional
    hints that we might put in the Postscript file (this is easy to 
    implement).
    Maybe you can have a look.

    Best wishes, Joris

Saying that, 

"the best solution ... would be to compare the postscript output of
LaTeX with the TeXmacs output ... and investigate ... hints that we
might put in the Postscript file" 

does not give a solution to the problem. Maybe the problem is that, I'm
just an average computer user and most of the people on this group are
advanced but I have no idea how to modify a Postscript file. 

I just want to be able to go to File>Export>Pdf and have the pdf output
be a correct representation of my document format.

I'm not trying to be testy here. It's just that I'm not a computer
programmer, I'm an end user and I need a little more information than
modifying the postscript file to answer my question.

I would greatly appreciate any additional information.

Bob
