PostScript Character Codes and Glyphnames

To place special characters in a Quickscript document, %C,code% or %C,glyphname% can be used. The code number to use depends on which "encoding vector" is being used. By default, the standard PostScript vector will be taken, but by including the file "pdffnt.qs" before the document, a set based on ISO-Latin-1 will be used instead. This set has been modified from standard ISO-Latin-1 by adding codes where control characters would normally be present, which are not used in PostScript fonts, to add characters from the standard encoding vector which would otherwise be missing. These changes are indicated in red below.

There are usually many other characters within a font that are inaccessible with a simple numeric code less than 256, and these can always be achieved with its glyphname. Also, using glyphname instead of numeric code removes any doubt as to what is intended, making the document independent of encoding vector.
