The Plugin.typebucket file is part of the Compugraphic font module and is in no way used by the PostScript font module. Yes, it's a well of common characters which other CG fonts can draw on. PageStream simply takes whatever character happens to be in the slot for which it normally gets a, say e with a grave accent, and puts it up on screen. The character should print. I'm not aware of any that don't, unless they're problem characters. Do you have any examples? Bitmapped discrepancies: the problem is that we've included bitmap screen fonts to speed up display, but the CG fonts print different character sets to PostScript and non-PS printers. We'll probably change this in a future version. The solution (holy grail) to all of this, is to have font-specific encoding. It's on the wishlist. Michael Soft-Logik
