fontname: Encodings

 
 Appendix B Encodings
 ********************
 
 The following sections define various encodings as PostScript encoding
 vectors.  These files can be installed in the Dvips header directory and
 then used in `psfonts.map' to change font encodings of downloadable or
 builtin fonts (psfonts.map (dvips)psfonts.map.).
 
    You can also specify these `.enc' files to Afm2tfm when building a
 font (Changing font encodings (dvips)Changing font encodings.).
 
    For a discussion of TeX font encodings in general, and defining new
 ones for use with `fontinst' in particular, see
 `http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/fontinst/doc/encspecs'.
 
    A tutorial on character code issues in general is available at
 `http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars.html'.
 
    Naming specific characters is a tangled and difficult area.  Here are
 some links to character tables for Unicode, Adobe, and WGL4, for your
 researching pleasure (thanks to Boguslaw Jackowski for the list):
