After some hacking I made it print russian text.
The patch below contains changes to ps-mule that I made to enable printing in
russian. But it is not enough -- ps-mule uses undefined function
`chars-in-region' and i supposed that it should be something like
(defun chars-in-region (from to) (- to from))
ps-mule uses cyrillic-iso-8bit encoding for russian. XEmacs seems not to have
such coding system so I defaliased it to iso-8859-5:
(define-coding-system-alias 'cyrillic-iso-8bit 'iso-8859-5)
This is rather raw solution but it works for me now.
