Hi Ashish,

     -f name
           Print files using font name. Any PostScript  font  can

I'm not familiar with either postprint or SUSE, but I don't see an
option in a2ps for specifying the font name.  (Masayuki, how about
adding one?)  The documentation says that the PostScript prologues have
to be changed to change the fonts, and I doubt you want to do that.
(See the manual included in the description if you want to delve
further.)

An alternative would be to use GNU enscript, whose -f option allows
specifying both the font name and size, e.g., -fCourier10 uses 10pt
Courier.  Whether either enscript or a2ps perfectly supports all the
other options you are using, I cannot say.

Hope this helps,
Karl
