Loads a character encoding vector from a file and changes the fonts
encoding vector to it. As a PostScript fonts default vector lacks most of
the character positions above 127, you'll definitely want to change this
if you use an other language than English.
</p>
<p class="para">
If you find yourself using this function all the time, a much
better way to define the encoding is to set ps.default_encoding in
the <a href="configuration.file.html" class="link">configuration file</a>
to point to the right encoding file and all fonts you load will
automatically have the right encoding.
