Although PgS displays the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" signs correctly on screen it prints them incorrectly. Actually, in a short test I found that it also misprints "not equal to".

1. open new document
2. click on page with text tool
3. type various math symbols (e.g., ctrl-d <=, ctrl-d >=, ctrl-d !=)
3a. for clarity put each on a separate line and with a text label
4. make sure font is Times New Roman
5. print

I have not tested with any font other than Times New Roman. Printing was to a HP LJ2300D as postscript from linux. My results were:

>= printed as empty rectangle (undefined symbol)
<= printed as >= (the "greater than or equal to" symbol)
!= printed as the infinity symbol

Note: I also tested with "approximately equal to", ctrl-d ~~ and that symbol printed correctly. So it is only some of the mathematical symbols that do not print correctly.

Note: generating PDF results in the correct symbols (and they print correctly from the PDF)

While PostScript reencoding of fonts still has needed work, this now works.
