Do these characters exist only in the bitmap version of the font?
How can you tell if the bitmap version of a font is in the system?
I've always assumed that the System file contained bitmap versions of
all the fonts, and that the versions used by the laserwriter were stored in
the laserwriter.  I tried to use the characters described above in a Word
3.01 document, but they did not show up on the screen or on the laserwriter.
What gives?

Where are these characters (and any others that may exist) documented?
