Hi there,

	I note that the Type1 Courier font that comes with GhostScript has a
lot of extra characters in addition to those used in the StandardEncoding and
the IsoLatin1Encoding (there are tons of extra accented characters, symbols
plus half of the greek alphabet).

	I was wondering if there is a way in P*stScript to list (and show) all
characters in a given font - it is easy enough to find the names in the Courier
font because they are listed in clear text in a file, but I would like to try
it on other fonts - especially the ones in our laser printers.

	Does anyone out there have a file similar to PRFONT.PS that will show 
_all_ the characters in a font, and not just the ones in the current encoding ?

Cheers


Bernhard
