My problem with the PS fonts that contain more than 255 
characters is that the XFree font server does not seem to be aware 
of the characters > 255, so I cannot actually display them on the 
screen; we could print them using their names, as Vlad found out, 
but that seems somewhat academic if we cannot display them. 

If I am wrong about this, and you know how to register such a PS 
font with the XFree server so that it would appear to it as a Unicode 
font, please let me know (try xlsfont -ll -fn 'fontname', if in the 
output it says min_byte1 = 0 and max_byte1 = 0, then the font will 
be treated by XFree as an 8-bit-only font.)
