I think if they remove PostScript/default they should add a dependency for
xprint.

export XPRTSERVERLIST=":2" should be it (or whatever the display number is
that Xprt is running with.

Actually you should not have to kill/start X. If you edit your env natually
you need to logout/on to reinitialize it.

Never heard of that. I've seen some really obscure fonts like aribic or tai
come out very small but if it's happening for Latin1 it sounds like the

You should not have to edit any confiuration files.

Yes, then the package is definately screwed up. If there is no documentation
there like a README.Debian that instructs you to edit your environment that
is a painful bug.
