Bug Description

Not sure if this needs to be reported since its already a reported debian bug (#354935)

Its quite annoying since many people won't have utf8 fonts installed and they are not a dependency.

You can revert from the dapper to breezy version of mpage package.
or
Quick work around (for most files) is to pipe postscript file produced through
grep -v '^\/uni'
before passing to viewer ot printer

e.g.
mpage -1 royal-mail.txt |grep -v '^\/uni' | gv -

Will this bug be fixed in Dapper or Hardy? I can see not wanting to take the effort for Dapper, which is near the end of
its support for the desktop, but I would sure like to see this fixed in Hardy, which is what I plan to use for the next two years.
