The XM11 application note mentions "two chip enables", which can only
be pins 14 and 15.

b7a13dd61b Move dot in Ldot and corresponding small cap leftwards
It should be centred between the uprights of the Ls, and that makes it
so.  Sadly, it's not possible to do the same for the lower-case.

Also add a relevant link to NOTES.

7d3e0454e6 Remove ZVBI-derived comment and code tables from NOTES
For the most part they're not useful, and they're arguably under the GNU
GPL.  I've replaced them with an original prose description of some of
the interesting facts.  For everything else, you can go to ZVBI itself.

4cf2d9d354 Proper licence etc for ZVBI bits in NOTES
ZVBI is under LGPL v2, but the NOTES file isn't a library so I need to
licence the excerpt under GPL v2 instead.  But actually I think I want
to remove that text, so this is just to legitimise the distribution of
the Git history.

ae15b32c4c Remove section on good sizes from NOTES
It's been pretty much obsolete since 002.002 when I adjusted the
diagonal stroke thickness.

c19d2ab747 Start a collection of links to articles about character design.
Happily, type designers seem to love talking about their languages'
unique letters.
