How does one create a gold tone in PostScript?  I realize that gold is  
a metal and to create it you need to either render it or use a gold ink  
but I'm looking for a simpler way to achieve the same effect.  I have  
some artwork containing gold arcs and lines which will be printed on a  
Canon CLC color laser printer.  Note that the artwork is pure  
PostScript and was not created using an application.

Is there a combination of CMYK values that approximates a gold  
tone?  Is there a sample of a rendered gold image that I could use as  
a fill pattern?  How would I do the latter?
