Hi Ken,

thanks for your response.  I was afraid that the solution would not be
that easy by just replacing some PostScript-code in an Elisp-function
:-)

David K. is the principle author of preview-latex and he is still
around.  I hope he can manage to find a solution with you, somehow.

Thanks for the offer.  I'm looking forward to seeing if David and you
can find a solution.  If it comes to file exchange, we can go this
route.
