What do you mean by "complete character set?"  Oftentimes a
PostScript font will contain characters that aren't in its
encoding vector.  Usually that occurs when it contains more
characters than can be expressed in 8-bit ASCII ... but not
always.

Try displaying the characters in the "Symbol" font by enumerating
ASCII values.  Notice that position 240 (decimal) appears blank
[/.notdef].

Now examine the file /NextLibrary/Fonts/Symbol.font/Symbol:
|dup 238 /braceleftbt put
|dup 239 /braceex put
|% dup 240 /apple put
|dup 241 /angleright put

Hey!  Something's commented out!

And look at Symbol.afm:

|C 238 ; WX 494 ; N braceleftbt ; B 201 -70 439 926 ;
|C 239 ; WX 494 ; N braceex ; B 201 -80 255 935 ;
|C 241 ; WX 329 ; N angleright ; B 21 -198 302 746 ;

Gee, there's something missing, but look at the end:

|C -1 ; WX 790 ; N apple ; B 56 -3 733 808 ;

[Similarly in the screen afms]

Of course, I would never suggest modifying one of NeXT's
system files :-) :-) :-) , so just Preview (or print) the
attached to see what the "censored" character is.
