ps2pdf generates zero-width glyphs

Hi!

To be able to typeset UTF-8 sources with abcm2ps, I have a script encoding my source to a 8-bit encoding and generating a character map containing all non-ascii characters found.

Looks like this:

%%beginps
ISOLatin0Encoding
dup 16#a0 /abreve put
dup 16#a1 /tcommaaccent put
[...]
pop
%%endps

The problem is that when I use ps2pdf to generate pdf files of this input, some glyphs are written "on top" of each other. Especially cyrillic letters are problematic, but also some european characters, like /tcedilla for instance.

Using gs to view the postscript file shows the text with all those characters missing altogether.

Since the glyphs are printed, they exist in the font somehow. But something is clearly not right...

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Erik
