Figure 3-2: WinAnsi Encoding

The code chart below shows the characters in the MacRomanEncoding. as it sounds, this is the standard
encoding on Macintosh computers in America and Western Europe. As usual with non-unicode encodings,
the first 128 code points (top 4 rows in this case) are the ASCII standard and agree with the WinAnsi code
chart above; but the bottom 4 rows differ.

Figure 3-3: MacRoman Encoding

These two encodings are available for the standard fonts (Helvetica, Times-Roman and Courier and their
variants) and will be available for most commercial fonts including those from Adobe. However, some fonts
contain non- text glyphs and the concept does not really apply. For example, ZapfDingbats and Symbol can
each be treated as having their own encoding.
