The font should be named "PostScript Escape". However, you could use
any font for this purpose: The name for the postscript escape font is
written in the 'STR ' resource id -8188 in the LaserWriter file. You could
change this to "Courier", "Times" or whatever you want. But keep in mind
that this will not work if you try to print with another print resource file.
The easiest way is to take a copy of e.g. the Courier font, change the FONT
id number (>>128) and set the name to "PostScript Escape". To change the FONT
name in ResEdit you have to make some magically gestures with the optionkey
to view the FONT in size 0. Keep this stack in your font of your hat.
