Yes, although that is not the point. PostScript isn't using character names as an encoding; there is an array to specify which character names are being encoded, so that you can encode everything with numbers instead.
But I agree it isn't really that good; having a character set name and then the numbers, would be better, I think. PostScript supports that too, though.
