The simplest example:

that TeX understands. The characters have the same code in the TFM file
as in the AFM file. For text fonts, this means printable ASCII
characters will work ok, but little else, because standard PostScript
fonts have a different encoding scheme than the one that plain TeX

+ By default, Afm2tfm looks for precomposed accented characters, such
