/The-Font-You-Want findfont 14 scalefont setfont
/nstr string 1 def
nstr 0 168 put
100 100 moveto
nstr show

That prints the 168th character at position 100,100 in 14pt. If
your encoding actually defines the characters you want, the above
becomes easier... (168 for me in times roman is currency..)

Cheers,
