Thanks for the feedback.  This is another instance of the same problem,
essentially.  I've fixed that and another instance of the same issue.
The attached patch builds, but I haven't tried to reproduce the problem
yet - if you get a chance to test this updated patch, that'd be great.

A character which can't be represented results in the entire string
it contains getting ignored, which doesn't seem ideal, but it is the
approach upstream suggested, and it's at least a simple non-intrusive
fix.  It beats a crash anyway.

I suspect in that case libgnomeprint will be used instead of the
built-in generic postscript code.

Cheers,
