In Denmark, and I suppose elsewhere, people use "funny" glyphs in their
texts. This is a little hack to put these glyphs in the default
/Encoding of all fonts.
As usual with my programs, it lacks comments.
You might recognize the example with scandinavian glyphs in "blue book",
as base of this. (Honour them, who honour fits.)
If you load it from outside the serverloop, you can make it permanent,
until power down-up.
On our P400PS (Agfa, and good) printer It's loaded at boottime from
the printers disk, together with ehandler etc.
