- 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
