[Gs-devel] Special Character... Bullet

[Alex Cherepanov]

Dear Mr. Jankowski,

This mailing list is to discuss advanced problems in AFPL
Ghostscript development. General questions about PostScript
programming should be posted to comp.lang.postscript

The following program shows the bullet character using
2 common methods. See PostScript Language Reference Manual
for details. See also PDF spec for the glyph table of
ZapfDingbats.

Basically, you need to load the right font and select the right
glyph. "show" uses the encoding vector. "glyphshow" uses the
glyph name.

Regards,
Alex Cherepanov
