Re: converting XyWrite 4.017 diacriticals

≪ However, about those high XY4/Win characters, I'd be curious myself;
for example the Scandinavian o slash (809 and 811). How does one get them
in XY3 or in other programs? ≫ --Rene 

Rene--Coordinate your PostScript .PR3 fb< vector encoding table with
a PS.PR3 substitution table so, e.g., a typed cap phi (IBM ascii 232)
prints to device (screen or printer) as Oslash (standard Type 1 font
extended char set \351) and l.c. phi (IBM ascii 237) prints as oslash
(\271--octal designations). The Type 1 extended char set includes scores
of non-English chars and punctuation, and a full set of unattached
diacrits to join to unaccented chars if need be.

No PS interpreter? Oh. Pity. 	--a
