NAME

PSSYMBOLS - List of symbols for ditroff in TRANSCRIPT  

DESCRIPTION

The following is a list of the symbols that are available in psroff(1) ( or ditroff ) in TRANSCRIPT. The list gives the name of the symbol which is used in troff, and a short description. If this page is printed on a POSTSCRIPT printer using psroff, the actual representation for the symbol is also shown. ( psroff or ditroff must be used; ptroff will not work. ) The description for each symbol is the name by which the symbol is known in Adobe fonts. The name can be used to find the character in font documentation for the appropriate font(s).

Many of the symbols below are from the Symbols font. Some are in each alphabetic font. Those marked with "*" are constructed with POSTSCRIPT code, and so are not necessarily from any font. Characters similar to many of the latter do appear in fonts, though, so the description usually shows the name of a similar character.
