PS not, but Qt's implementation limits. Of course Qt was not meant for being a 
toolkit for DTP applications.

The best would be to create our own Postscript generator. But, as written 
before, this means that we would have to support all font problems and that 
is not easy (i.e. needs much manpower to do it correctly plus developers 
knowing the subject, especially East Asian fonts.)
