Sorry if I missed something. I'll have a look at it at the weekend, I'm 
anyway working on a patch for CJK fonts in PSOutput. Are the "old" 
patches from William available? It's probably easier to look into the 
patches and see what is missing now (of course together with comparing 
code between tarball and git). Also it would be nice to have 
elp-B83378-gray.pdf and testimagemask.pdf for testing, the other I have.
Didn't think that still someone use level1 option :-) Aren't that 
printers been already in a museum?
