Yep, absolutely seconded.

Besides, from what I've read, PangoPDF does *ALSO* Postscript output. I
don't know if it handles anything besides PDF, though, or if it just
piggybacks on Gnome-Print to handle that. And it's still unclear to me today
whether Gnome-Print is considered a "GNOME" or a "Gtk" library nowadays
