| Hello,
Do you now how I can have an encoding to cp850 ?
We work with Linux and Windows. Under Linux, we have texts with accents
stored.
I wrote the following to change the StandardEncoding :
/Arial findfont
0 dict copy begin
/Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding def
/MyArial /FontName def
currentdict end
dup /FID undef
/MyArial exch definefont pop
/MyArial findfont
14 scalefont
setfont
120.00 720.00 moveto
(Méthode) show
If my text (Méthode) comes from a Windows editor, it is ok. But if I
write it (Méthode) from linux text editor, I have another character than
the é.
In fact, I found that under Linux, we have a cp850 char set.
Here are the hexa values :
Linux Windows
cp850 ISOLatin1
à 85 E0
é 82 E9
Is there a way to have a kind of :
/Encoding cp850 def
to have the accents on my printer !
Regards.

| Try something like this to just replace a few accented characters.
/pc-850encoding {256 array} def % create an encoding array
ISOLatin1Encoding pc-850encoding copy % populate initial values
/pc-850encoding exch def
pc-850encoding
dup 144 /Eacute put
dup 147 /ocircumflex put
dup 130 /eacute put
dup 131 /acircumflex put
dup 133 /agrave put
dup 135 /ccedilla put
dup 136 /ecircumflex put
dup 138 /egrave put
dup 140 /icircumflex put
dup 160 /aacute put
dup 210 /Ecircumflex put
dup 212 /Egrave put
dup 226 /Ocircumflex put
/pc-850encoding exch def
