Does anyone know whether PostScript fonts are available that contain
all the characters in the following ISO and ANSEL character sets:

    ISO 5426 Extended Latin Alphabet coded Characters for
    Bibliographic Information Interchange

    ANSEL Z39.47 Extended Latin Alphabet Coded for Bibliographic Use

I think these two are pretty much the same set.  They include some
characters that are in the standard PostScript international set,
such as the oe digraph and the Scandinavian slashed o, but also
other characters that aren't in the usual sets, such as the hooked o
(used in Vietnamese), the candrabindu (used in Hindi and other
languages), and the tverdii znak (used in Bulgarian and Russian).
