Comment 5 for bug 166626

I am no PS expert so the Adobe Illustrator output for an EPS
is to complicated to me. It uses some "Adobe_CoolType" stuff
that seems to handle non-ASCII-7 characters by replacing the
encoding map.

In the PS Spec there is the following PS code fragment to
use ISO-Latin-1 encoding at least enabling proper handling
of german umlauts and other ASCII-8 chars.

/Helvetica findfont
dup length dict begin
{ 1 index /FID ne
{def}
{pop pop}
ifelse
} forall
/Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding def
currentdict
end
/Helvetica-ISOLatin1 exch definefont pop

The following PS code would create proper output:

0 842 translate
0.8 -0.8 scale
/Helvetica-ISOLatin1 findfont
12 scalefont
setfont
0 0 0 setrgbcolor
[1 0 0 1 0 0] concat
[1 0 0 -1 34.17 41] concat
0 0 moveto
(B\344ume) show
