   Looking over the PostScript parser I mentioned this morning, it appears be a handful of mostly self-contained textual parsers resembling little more than a lexer. There's several of these for different PostScript constructs, or loops around them.

   It defers to a seperate file to parse literal values.

   P.S. It appears I've overlooked a whole CF2 Fonts system, so that's what I'll be studying tomorrow! Looks to be interesting...

     @alcinnz I just wish postscript had a utf8 strings mode, even if that treated as an int array, and then worked with fonts as normal.

     @revk Yeah, I'd probably wish that too if I was familiar with it!
