Substituting espgsMissingChar for minus in the font CourierISOC




Actual Results:
When file minus.ps is viewed with gv, position occupied by - in the source text file remain blanc

Expected Results:


Additional info:
The reason is that in the file /usr/share/a2ps/encoding/iso5.edf correponding code is mapped to PostScript name `minus' and there is no glyph with that
name in the font `CourierISOC' stored in the file
/usr/share/a2ps/fonts/crr35__i.pfb

The error may be fixed by replacing name `minus' by name `hyphen'
in the encoding vector in /usr/share/a2ps/encoding/iso5.edf
