I've heard that there are 2 options: either call the character by it's Adobe
name (e.g. 'asciitilde' or '/asciitilde') or change encoding vector (by
emitting PS command) and emit a character whose code is the index of that
glyph in new encoding vector.
As for 1st way - I was unable to use it for some unknown to me reason (I
don't know PS at all though read intro to PS) - GS says symbol undefined (I
tried to insert the following in the PS file produced by AW:
/r show
r show
- and got message that 'r' is undefined in both cases). So additional PS code
is needed to be able to call glyphs by their names.
As for 2nd variant - I didn't try it.
