I just got back from a long weekend at a flint knappers convention (the art
of making stone tools).  I have noticed the test program and the results.
I have gone and gotten a copy of the font in question and edited it highly
and will stick the file out here.  I took out all the character shapes
except for the ! mark.  Basicaly the core of the problem is something like 


Casa1 known
	{
		currentfile (   ) readstring
		(%%%) eq
			{
			exit
			}
			{
			pop
			} ifelse
	} if

	.
	.
	.
	.
%%%

or something similar.  I'll put the real thing out here later.  The above
fragment is just out of my memory after looking at the font lastnight,
so it is probably mostly right.

Cheers
Woody
