We have been using a ruby postscript module extensively here, but it's 
written in a way that is fairly specific to our needs and may not be of 
much use to anybody else.  It would be a big objective-specifying and 
refactoring job to come up with a general purpose ps module if this were 
a starting point -- it might be easier for somebody to port the existing 
perl stuff over.

But typesetting using Ruby, I must say, has proved to be a pretty cool 
thing to be able to do.
