I've noticed that font files, from Adobe at least, typically contain some
preliminary stuff in plain old "readable" PostScript, but then the actual glyph
definitions appear to be encoded in some way.

I'd like to encrypt the prolog of PostScript files my application in generating,
and then revert to plain text PostScript for the remainder of the file.  Does
anyone know if this is possible?  How?

Thanks.
