mp defines an ISO Latin 1 character set if one is not provided by the
PostScript interpreter itself. The problem is that some (most?) PostScript level 1 interpreters (such as the Apple Laserwriter Plus!) don't define the ISOLatin1 encoding vector AND don't define a character called `minus'. Therefore, substituting `hyphen' (which is always defined) for `minus', isn't really `wrong' aesthetics not withstanding! :-) A conditional patch would (IMHO, say Jeremy) be overkill: the only people that would be interested in it are typographers, and they probably don't use mp to format their mail anyway. Submitted by: Jeremy Prior <jez@netcraft.co.uk>
