Hi, I need to print an "umlaut" at the bottom of a computer graphic, for the artist's name. The graphic is pure (mostly simple) Postscript (PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-2.0). Can I do so using a Times-Roman font? If so, how must I do so? In tables available on the web, I've found that the numeric character should be \374 (an umlaut over the letter "u"). However, when I try to print it like: /Times-Roman findfont 24 scalefont setfont 0 0 moveto (hello: \374) show stroke showpage I do not get the expected letter "u" with an umlaut above it. What am I doing wrong, and what is the right way to do it? Thanks very much for your help, Arun Chandra
