Well, you are obviously creating your PS template from a PDF template whichg has been made up using a(some) bitmapped Type 3 font(s). From that, you'll hardly have any chance to add glyphs for the additional characters you need. Try to edit your PDF (using Acrobat Professional) and modify all text using a "well formed" font, for ease of use I'd suggest Type1. Well, speculating more on what you intend to do - why not use a tool like Thomas Merz's pdflib (which is available for various platforms for a reasonalbe price)? Perhaps you could pst (an URL to) sample files and describe with mre detail what you are going to do. It may be possible that the best way is to write a PostScript program (yes, PostScript is a programming language) from scratch. Helge
