Hi,

I have been trying to figure out how to output a parallel sign ('||') in postscript device font. In vector fonts, that's easy. I just need to use '!M'+string(35B)+'!X'. However, how to do this in a postscript file with device fonts? I've tried David's unicode method but got a box instead.

Frequently I need to use parallel and perpendicular signs in plots. I've figured out how to add perpendicular sign, but not the parallel sign. Could someone please help me here?

Thanks a lot.
