AFAIK, they all start at (0,0)

I was including text-drawing procedures as well.  Thinking more about
it tonight, I've concluded that it's really ugly to have them start
anywhere but the current point.  If they want to translate, they can
do that themselves. Filling the whole file with translations is bad. I'd really appreciate if you'd try to decide ASAP whether to accept my
patch.  Despite my fears, I've managed to spend some more time
improving other aspects of the postscript backend, and I'd like to
have a good base to work from.

I'll put them in the 2.9 branch, but I'm still engrossed in getting the binary builds out of the door.
