attention to it yet.

Adobe's current recommendation is that U+00B5 should be called "mu", so

follow that.

It would help if our 'c2sc' table actually specified its feature as 'c2sc'.

Now that lots of glyphs have "uni*" names, arrange that an unspecified name

defaults to that. Much more space for flags!

As of AGLFN 1.8 (November 2008) Adobe recommends that afii* names not
...
be used in new fonts. Follow their lead and switch to uni* (which are
simpler).

Don't bother mentioning the bottom row of each character cell in the

initialiser for glyphs, since it's always empty. This should give space in
the source to add extra character metadata.

Some interesting Arabic-related stuff found in an old EBU document. I've

Gareth has successfully identified the mystery character in the Hebrew

set as the Old Sheqel sign. I have yet to find either a Unicode code
point or a definitive glyph name for it, but I can at least be descriptive.

I've found a more comprehensive version of the SAA5050 datasheet,
...
including various versions intended for western continental Europe,
along with Cyrillic and Hebrew ones. This has given me a load more
glyphs, including canonical versions of ones I'd previously designed
myself. Add them all. Also sort my glyphs better.

It seems that the "yen" glyph is almost always drawn with two horizontal

strokes. After some experimentation, here's a new version that has that
and doesn't look too horrid.

Cleanups to SFD emitter:
...
* Don't emit Fore, SplineSet, or EndSplineSet if a glyph has no splines.
* Emit a blank line between glyphs.
* Set the "W" flag on all glyphs to indicate that the width is explicitly set.
The last seems to be what's necessary to get Fontforge to believe in my
"space" glyph.

Reword g.sc to match the corrected full-cap version.

Also a POI: gid's font is called "Mallard", not "Mullard".

Fixes to "G" and "sterling" from the SAA5050 datasheet. All characters now

checked against that and, where it disagrees with the Beeb UG, against a
real SAA5050. In all cases, the datasheet was correct.

Comparing my font with gid's "Mullard Smooth" led me to notice a missing

Ooh, the SAA5050 datasheet includes character diagrams, including an ASCII

I've done before but seem to have lost.

Minor silliness: a few obvious extra glyphs and a whole set of small
