Regular (Adobe) PostScript fonts includes the diacritical mark "ogonek"
("inverse cedilla") and the special letter "L with dash" used in Polish,
but in the Macintosh characters set, these characters are replaced by
some other characters.
To use these characters, I would have to remap my character set; has
anyone done this? How could it be done? I think, I have to remap both
the FONT-resource and the PostScript-definition of the font; the former
can be done by fiddling around with ResEdit; but how do I do the latter?

I have seen a PostScript font catalog for non-english languages, including Russian, Slavic, Cyrillic, Vietnamese, MidEast Times, Tibetan, (French, Spanish, ... Roman alphabets). And on to Malayalam, Bengali DD, Devangari, Katakana, Bopomofo Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, Mongolian ('Phas-pa). I think you're getting the picture. They seem to support times and helvetica on roman-related alphabets. They also supply (or just compatibility with?) script manager software, to support some right-to-left writing with some WPs. It comes from: Ecological Linguistics, PO Box 15156 Washington DS, 20003 USA (202)546-5862 Their Type 1 fonts seem to cost about $60-$200 US ($40 for roman alphabets). They also have some utilities that provide sane sorting order for Excel, ... They request $5.00 US (and a self-addressed address label) for a copy of their catalog. I got mine as a result of my user group affiliation.
