When using prfont.ps on a real PostScript printer, make sure the script 
contains the line
/min { 2 copy gt { exch } if pop } bind def
and then replace all occurences of
.min
by
min

Then it will print the unencoded characters.

The reason is that ".min" is a Ghostscript extension but equivalent to the 
definition of min listed above.
