       This  manual  page  lists the standard ggrrooffff input charac-
       ters.  Only the characters  that  are  available  for  the
       device  that  is being used to print this manual page will
       be displayed.  The _I_n_p_u_t _c_o_d_e column applies to characters
       which  can be input with a single character, and gives the
       ISO Latin-1 code of that input character.  The  _P_o_s_t_S_c_r_i_p_t
       _n_a_m_e  column gives the usual PostScript name of the output
       character.

       The ISO Latin-1 no-break space (code 0240 octal) is equiv-
       alent to \\(space).  All other ISO Latin-1 characters print
       as themselves with the following exceptions: ``  prints  as
       `, '' prints as '; the corresponding ISO Latin-1 characters
       can be  obtained  with  \\``  and  \\((aaqq.   The  ISO  Latin-1
       `Hyphen, Minus Sign' (code 45) prints as a hyphen; a minus
       sign can be obtained with \\--.   The  ISO  Latin-1  `Tilde'
       (code  126)  prints as ~; the larger glyph can be obtained
       with \\((ttii.  The ISO Latin-1 `Circumflex Accent' (code  94)
       prints as ^; a larger glyph can be obtained with \\((hhaa.
