(The following is believed correct. Please report any errors or differing experiences.)

 The common Adobe fonts normally use a StandardEncoding Encoding Vector that is
incapable of displaying several dozen of the "hidden" but available characters in a typical font.

Of particular interest is the "copyright" symbol, the "trademark" symbol, and the "TM" symbol. Available "secret" characters are detailed in Appendix E of the Red Book.

The solution for all but five really oddball characters is to create a new font that is
ISOLatin1 Encoded instead. For the really oddball characters, their position gets
substituted for something else at your own risk.

Like so...

The last line shows how you redefine the normal /Times-Roman font into an ISOLatin1
reencoded one titled /_Times-Roman.

For this font...
