Mark, Thanks for the info. I'm not sure that the control-C approach works. My experience has been that the control-C is acknowledged by the postscript printer only after the printer finishes its current task. You seem to know more about it than me, however. Is there some sort of interrupt priority in postscript? I know, for example, that the control-T (status) command seems to generate an immediate response. As for adding a new character, I would guess that the "bind def" for each normal character would add to the processing time for characters in that font. I had thought about using the analytic font example but was hoping that there'd be an easier way. I'm sure that I'll have more questions (e.g., bounding box, metrics, who knows) as I mess around with this… Best.
