We've just started using Rokicki's dvips v5.47 here, and so far I really
like it (compared to dvi2ps).
However, LaTeX still has problems with ligatures and compound
characters, such as \AA. The macros in lplain.tex work just fine with
CM fonts, but occasionally misplace the diacriticals with PostScript
font.
SO, my question is: has anybody cobbled together macros which select the
pre-ligatured "accented" characters from the Adobe PS fonts when
appropriate, or assembles the characters from the pieces (if there is no
defined ligatured/accented character, or if you're not in a PS font)?
e.g. \AA{}ngstrom will do the Right Thing in both CMR and in Times.
