You mean you just posted here without reading through the 1700 page specification, 23 auxiliary PDF specifications and over 225,000 pages of reference materials just looking for a quick answer?
;-) AFAIK, I am pretty sure dec 32 was supported in PostScript back as early as 1996. I believe that made it into PDF but it is not considered a glyph, rather a char. My Adobe days memory is fading rapidly but I do believe it is a legal character. Below you describe a question. Is there a context to it (i.e. - a decision required to be made)? I might be able to help if there is a specific reason this is required. Feel free to ping me off list if it is more appropriate. Cheers!
