Wordperfect has an option to send a printer control sequence to the
printer (Format:Other) which may be able to help you somewhat.  But I'm
not positive that it would work for you since the printer codes may end
up being embedded in text and not be recognized for Postscript code.
Another solution might be to use a drawing program to create images (EPS
would be the best, not sure if WP can import that properly) of these
mirror-image letters (you can even use the same font as the rest of your
text if you have the right font support in your drawing program) and
import them as graphics boxes in WP.

Postscript should always be able to bold a font if it does not already
have the human-crafted bold typeface somewhere.  I do not have direct
experience with bolding the Symbols font, though.
