If you look at the "real" numbers you posted, e.g. "0,00", I suspect that
the selected locale is applied to the PostScript snippets put into the
generated PPD. This clearly is wrong - PostScript stuff MUST be processed
using the C locale.

Note: the trap you fell in is the "Dezimalkomma" (decimal comma) in the
german speaing locales; it is essential that the english "decimal point"
is preserved.
