Hi, Ramon -

If you're still looking into this problem, the June 2001 issue of the
Acumen Journal (#7) has an article on adding & replacing characters in
a PS font. It steps through an example that replaces the "O" in
Helvetica with a smiley face; always useful.

The Journal is free for the downloading at
www.acumentraining.com/acumenjournal.html.
