I've recently discovered output from Uniplex that attempts to specify
a new encoding vector including the 'brokenbar' character?  The
standard vector in the red book doesn't include this character -- is it
in any way "standard"?  I've had a report that [at least some] Apple printers
include the character, and the Ghostscript fonts do, but our QMS printers
don't, with the result that | doesn't show up when printed on them.  Hacking
the mapping to 'bar' instead of 'brokenbar' allows the file to print, but
I'd like to know who to assign blame -- Uniplex or QMS?
