encoding type in a2ps to pretty-print

[Henrik Berg Nielsen]

Hi, I am complete newbie and just starting to learn Python. I have just
installed a2ps for dos so I can pretty-print all my small programs. I have
one problem though. When I pretty-print my code via a2ps all places where I
have a '<=' are turned into the similar mathematical sign, that only takes
up one space on the line, likewise all '==' are converted to the
mathematical "by definition" sign (that is 3 lines on top of eachother). Why
is this so? It is really annoying and I would really like a2ps to
pretty-print my code the way it looks on my monitor. I think it has
something todowith the encoding that a2ps uses,but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any help
