Herbert,
There must be something different in my local installation than you have
there because the above code still shows the same improper line breaks.
Perhaps the version of PSTricks that I have here is too old? I don't know how
to tell its age. The entries in /usr/share/texmf/doc/generic/pstricks range
from 1994-2000; from the VERSIONS file:

Thank you very much for this lesson. I'll use the scaled 'o' instead.
As an aside, I'm really looking forward to the English translation of your
book. I bought a copy of The LaTeX Graphics Companion and read Chapter 4
(PSTricks). It's a great reference for someone who already understands
PSTricks, but is not a tutorial for us beginners. The ancient Users Guide is
slilghgtly better, but still lacking.
