[comp.lang.postscript] Font encodings

I'd forgotten that the Encoding vector is used for keying into the font
cache.  Sigh.  Well, at least now it's not so mysterious.

On a related note, does anyone know what kinds of changes have been made
in recent versions of PostScript in order to handle fonts with more than
256 characters (NEC's new Kanji PostScript printer, for example)?

Probably the most complete information is in Adobe's composite font
documentation. I think it is available from Adobe's file server (adobe!
ps-file-server). Send it a message with a subject of "help" for help.
