Thanks for the code, but what I really have in mind is real Type1
charstrings.  As far as I understand only two instructions are
necessary: hsbw (to set metrics) and seac (to combine).  Something
like a smart perl script that would take list of compounds and produce
the necessary piece of PS code and an AFM file.  It's better
(performance-wise) to do things on host rather than in the
interpreter.
