Since this is of general interest, I posted a reply on March 15.
Perhaps it didn't make it to the outside world, but I got no error
reports.  Anyway, here it is again.

Enclosed is the original program, slightly rewritten.  It supplies the
ISOLatin1Encoding vector if it is not already in ROM, and checks to see
if the font you are trying to reencode contains the appropriate
characters.  It is possible to have the vector but not have the
character set (newer printer, old downloadable font) or to have
the character set but not have the vector (old printer, newer
downloadable font).  This upgrade was made quite two or three years
ago, so it is getting harder and harder to find a printer that doesn't
have them, but they certainly exist.  In fact, I couldn't find such a
printer around Adobe, so I'm not certain that my font checking code
works properly, but it should be close.
