URW fonts distributed with GS 5.50 don't have those extra glyphs.
Even with 6.x there are valid reasons to _not_ rely on those glyphs
being present. E.g. I prefer to use Adobe's native fonts with GS
since: 1) they are hinted better; 2) I know what to expect from my
printer.
The 2) is particularly important. Consider poor fellow who can view
his 200+ pages thesis ok - but when he sends the job to the printer he
suddenly gets his thesis with all those characters dropped.
