You could have used CID font technology which does not have a 256 character
limitation. Together with a ToUnicode mapping
(<URL:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/5411.ToUnicode.pdf>)
it makes text in a PDF file (after distilling your PS file) searchable and
extractable again.

Thank you. That sounds like a good idea.
