I'm still in sarcasm mode: MetaPost is a tool suitable for a single
niche, i.e. to be used together with TeX and Co. However, MetaPost
does not create PostScript files (at least PostScript files containing
text). (I know, there is mproof, but what's that an ugly solution.)

PyX is able to create PostScript files to be used whereever you want.
Even on a printer ... ;-)
