Thanks, I will look at that but I was really hoping to do it as a PDF.
And the language I need is 19th-century Romanian (just some snippets),
but that was a strange tongue; I say "was" because Romanian has
evidently changed out of all recognition, even before the Soviets
started trying to insist that it was a Slavonic language. In 1939,
when my father, who was born in Romania, was working at the NY World's
Fair, he dropped in to the Romanian Pavilion. He couldn't understand a
word they were saying, and they had to dig up a professor of
comparative linguistics to understand him, so completely had the
language changed. And the snippets I have include accented letters
that I cannot find in ANY of the charsets (but I may be misreading
them; they're quite faded).

Just what I don't have and have no intention of getting (Adobe is
right up there after M$ and Sony on my "companies I love to hate"
list). And what I was hoping to do was use nothing but Xy with the
PostGhost driver, GhostScript, and GSView to create the PDF. Probably
not up to it; Xy was supposed to be able to let you create links to
graphics, but I don't think anyone ever got it to work. Thanks anyway.
