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

A method to do this without re-encoding the font is below.
