Re: What to use to edit output after the fact?

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's a well-known fact that Illustrator is unable to handle
all features of the Postscript language, even though Adobe
wrote the specs themselves.
It's also a well-known fact that LilyPond uses some Postscript
features that for example all but the latest versions of
Ghostscript fail to handle correctly. However, I'm not sure
how well it actually adheres to the Postscript standard.
