Thanks.  I can't see how it could, either, but I have little experience
with actual Adobe software, as I use Ghostscript for almost all of my
PostScript work.

I might have been unclear in "adding to a font dictionary".  I'm not
contemplating /name findfont { modify } definefont, but fontforge font;
awk '...' font.g2n; vi font.t42.

David
