[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Wordstar 5.5, extended ASCII, PostScript

Help!

I'm looking for solution suggestions for the following problem:

	Using WordStar 5.5, I've put together a document that includes 
some of the extended ASCII characters (Greek letters, etc) using the
ALT-### method.  The page preview feature shows everything looking fine,
but when I print it out, i get regular ASCII characters instead.  It seems 
as if the MSB was ignored: ALT-235 (Greek theta) prints as ASCII 105 (lower
case "i").

	For printing, I first redirect the output to a PostScript file and
then do the printing on a laser printer.  

	Question: Do I need to use a special font in WordStar to allow me
access to these characters?  Or is the problem more likely in the laser
printer?  If so, how do I *fix* it?  

	Please respond via email.
