Hi,

I have a problem using german special characters with PostScript. In the Adobe
Cookbook there is a sample how to reencode a font to use special characters, but
I would like it better to be done without this encoding magic. Is there a way
to access the characters of a font that are not mapped to octal numbers
without mapping them, I would imagine that naming them should be enough for
poor PostScript to display them...

Any ideas?

Hauke

P.S: by the way, is there a sourcecode anywhere where I could look up kerning
     procedures?
