I've asked this before, but perhaps not in this newsgroup.
I am looking for the simplest way to print the Icelandic
characters eth and thorn (upper and lower cases) in a text/

I have a HP LJHIIIp, with postscript level 2 cartridge.  I
use a MacII ci running system 7.0.1.  Back with level 1 cartridge
and system 6 I could change some of the definitions in the
system's laser prep file (using ResEd), but I don't see the same
files in the current setup.  Can I feed a couple of lines redefining
say the y diersis to eth?  I have postscript escape font if I need
to send messages to PS itself.

Thanks for all the help!
