  Does anyone in this newgroup know anything about encoding vectors
outside of the encoding example in the green book?  Maybe I am 
posting to the wrong newgroup.  I am trying to use the Reencodesmall
example except I want to use glyphs from the Symbol set.  I tried
just referencing their names in the encoding vector but they are
rendered as blanks.  My objective is to be compatible with the ISO 
latin1 set, which is *not* equivelent to Adobe's latin1 set.  Specifically,
the Adobe latin1 set is missing degree, plusminus andcopyrightserif.


  My character set question is, How does one handle >8bit character
sets?  Rumor has it that Adobe has released a Kanji font, is this
true?

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated...
