asfour@cernvax.UUCP (asfour) (06/10/86)

Can someone please tell me if the laserwriter's character set
has international characters? German and French characters.


If you can give me any hints I would be very glad....

Taken from the "Postscript Language Reference Manual", appendix A
The Times Roman font has circle a; unlaut e; spanish c, !, ?; carret i;
twiddle n; accent o,u; circumflex s; all in upper and lower case.
It also has superscript underlined a and o. In addition, it has all 
the diacritical marks as seperate characters.  The same goes for 
Helvetica and courier.
