Thanks, Almut: that answered my question quite nicely.
Just to give a little background, I give presentations of technology, and I
write the slides in HTML (thus avoiding proprietary software). I use CSS to
set the font size to be really big, and everything works great: I can write
a slide in HTML in about the time it would take to write a PowerPoint slide.
However, one drawback is that I can't print out the slides, say, four per
page. But most applications under Linux (including web browsers) allow you
to "print to a file", writing the PostScript output to a file. If I can
concatenate the files and convert the result to PDF, I can configure my
printer to print the result at four pages per piece of paper.

[M]y wife and I attended grad school in linguistics at Berkeley
and UCLA. At the time, we were actually planning to be
missionaries (more specifically, Bible translators), but we had
to drop that idea for health reasons. Funny thing is, now the
missionaries probably get more good out of Perl than they'd have
gotten out of me as a missionary. Go figure.
