[scribus-dev] Casual PDF output

[中本浩]

I believe Windows build requires Freetype, if I correctly read the
document below.
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_Scribus_on_Windows

scprintengine_ps, which I patched, is never invoked on Windows at
printing, anyway.

By the way, which platform uses scpainterex_cairo currently ?
At least, it is not used on Mac/Linux.

Currently, scprintengine_ps looks like used as
scprintengine_non_windows, and scprintengine_ps is not used on Windows
- correct me if I am wrong.

Calling the original ps printing if the output file extension is "ps"
would be easy (If you look into the patch, you can see that).
But it is more desirable to make ps output as "export to ps" for all
the supported platforms,  I believe.

Thank you for response.
