I am currently helping to prepare a book for publication.  The book
was written using WordPerfect.  Normally I would convert this to LaTeX
but as there are large quantities of Greek in it I decided it would be
easier to try and finish it off in WP. 

I am using WP 5.0 and need to present the final document as a
PostScript file.

I have two problems

1)  I need to occaisionally print letters in mirror image.  I have
    managed to work out how to do this in raw PostScript (by working
    out the character width, moving, saving the graphics state,
    setting scale to -1 1, writing the string out, and then restoring
    the graphics state.)  Is there someway that I can utilise this from
    within WP?

2) I need some Greek to come out in bold but when set to bold it
   doesn't.  Presumably the Greek letters come from the postscript
   symbol font of which there isnt a bold version.

Any help would be appreciated.
