This is clearly a PostScript viewer program, not a PostScript file
problem. For one thing, the only way for something to show up correctly
in the PNG file is for it to exist (correctly!) in the PostScript file,
since the PNG file is made from the PostScript file.

My guess is that if you turned anti-aliasing off in your PostScript
viewer the Angstrom symbol would show up correctly, as if you were using
the powers of mental telepathy. :-)

Cheers,

David
