I am currently helping to prepare a book for publication. The book
was written using WordPerfect. Normally I would convert this to LaTeX
but as there are large quantities of Greek in it I decided it would be
easier to try and finish it off in WP.
I am using WP 5.0 and need to present the final document as a
PostScript file.
I have two problems
1) I need to occaisionally print letters in mirror image. I have
managed to work out how to do this in raw PostScript (by working
out the character width, moving, saving the graphics state,
setting scale to -1 1, writing the string out, and then restoring
the graphics state.) Is there someway that I can utilise this from
within WP?
2) I need some Greek to come out in bold but when set to bold it
doesn't. Presumably the Greek letters come from the postscript
symbol font of which there isnt a bold version.
Any help would be appreciated.
