Downloading a CID font to PostScript

Can anyone provide me with a PostScript file that shows all the dictionaries and/or resources that are necessary to download a CID font into a PostScript printer?

I've read all the documents I can find about it. Of course, there's not much written about PostScript anymore - everything is about PDF now.

I've seen the Type 42 example for a single-byte font but that doesn't apply at all to double-byte fonts.  They have to be downloaded as CID fonts.

A file that downloads a single glyph used for a character greater than 255 would do the job.

There seems to be no example for a CID font out there.

Allan.

    Allan,

    I have never used a Type11 font but a search turns up:

    I was looking for some actual PostScript code - dictionary element definitions, etc.
