Hi Can any one help please? I use Microsoft Word version 5 on an MSDOS system and use a Postscript printer. My postscript printer driver supports all the fonts I need, except that the printable characters from the high ascii set do not mirror those of the IBM character set. This causes a great deal of hassle for many of the computer illiterate users in my department. One way to solve the problem is to modify the fonts so that they do indeed mirror the printable set as closely as is possible - a big job. Another might be to load a character set into our IBM compatibles so that the screen characters mirror the printable sets - more work. My ideal solution is to change the standard Adobe characters assigned via the printer driver initialization file (postscript.ini in my case). I have fiddled with this file and found that indeed my approach can work. My problem is that I do not have access to the standard Adobe postscript character names (they are apparently listed in the Postscript Language reference Manual). Can anyone please send by email or FAX a list of these character names. If I have used the incorrect terminology for these codes I have also posted part of my postscript.ini file to illustrate the sort of characters I mean. I have special interest in the greek characters.
