The standard laserjet II includes 4 fonts for Courier. Among them
is a font which contains a line drawing character set for forms
production.  

We have recently begun to use the adobe postscript cartridge and
have not noticed any equivalent to the above in the postscript
courier font.

Does anyone know of a way to invoke line drawing characters in postscript?
Alternatively, how difficult would it be to define these characters and
add them to the courier font?

Please email responses to uunet!friedman!chekov, I will summarize and
post to the net.

Thanks for your help.
