I want to print some American Indian language material that I am working with on a laser printer. I am doing the linguistic analysis of the data on a PC/AT. Output involves some exotic characters. I believe I want to use Postscript. My first question is about hardware. Which of the small laser printers (probably using the Canon engine) do you recommend I put in my NSF proposal? The second is about software. If it turns out that the character-set capabilities of the sublexical concordance software I will be using are not adequate, is there something that accepts essentially word processor output, translating specified keystroke sequences into special exotic characters, and produces a Postscript file for `typeset' output? Some of the exotic characters: shwa (turned e), glottalized consonants (with superposed apostrophe), h with a dot under it, and the like. Nothing like Devanagari or Arabic or Hebrew script.
