OK, I was confused for a bit, but as far as I can tell the Postscript support that is in 4.3 is still the one I implemented way back when, which includes the PostscriptEncoder and that's a subclass of ByteEncoder (Via PrintableEncoder).   FlattenEncoder -> ByteEncoder -> PostscriptEncoder -> PostscriptEncoderToDisk, and the Postscript Encoders are used by the Postscript Canvas.     ByteEncoder is in  "MorphicExtras-Postscript Filters", so if you nuke that entire category, you would appear to also nuke Postscript support.

Speaking of which, I remember having to hack quite a bit of nasty code because text was actually not going through the canvas but implemented back in BitBlit, which then forwarded a bitmap to the Canvas.  Has that been fixed?

Cheers,

Marcel
