By me it does not work for all the characters you used, except the
copyright symbol. But that was where I was after, so for the moment I
am happy. ;-}

By the way: with Helvetica bullet did not work, with Bookman it did
(and also the copyright symbol).

Is it possible to make it a procedure with takes the font-name? Then
you do not to rewrite for every font that you are going to use.

Why is ISOLatin1Encoding not the default encoding?
