4592cdfb22 Fix outline adjustment for Bedstead Bold
A couple of special cases handle the inside corners of glyphs like
"asterisk".  They're very ad-hoc, but also reasonably simple so I'll
forgive them.

dea2091ce3 Add a bold weight (+50) to bedstead.c
It produces self-intersecting characters, so it's not quite ready yet.

43a560f230 Pull out common subexpression of conditions in adjust_weight
By having short names for the co-ordinates of the points we're
considering, we can make the conditions easier to read, which will
help as the conditions become more complex.

726fa5a495 Re-work weight-adjustment code to work in two passes
It now records how it wants to move each point and them actually moves
the points in a second pass.  This avoids a problem where moving one
point would cause the loop not to correctly recognise the types of
adjacent points in the path.  This in particular affected glyphs with
sharp upper corners (like &) with weights >= 50.

77cb8d9d8f Add the Fontmap file to the source distribution
It's necessary to build the glyph complement, and I think the source
distribution should include everything necessary to build the binaries
in it.  It doesn't need to include things that are only used for the
Web site, though.

e467599a0d Rename glyphs for non-BMP characters to match AGL spec
I'd been calling them "uniXXXXX", but "uXXXXX" is correct.  This
requires a huge pile of aliases for backward compatibility.

3b7e3ba4cd Rename "uni2126" to "Omega"
The latter is the name recommended by AGLFN 1.7.

c12abd663b Add "uni2259" as an alias for "circleplus"
"circleplus" is the AGLFN name, but it was called "uni2259" in
Bedstead 002.000 and 002.001, so the old name should stay for
compatibility, for instance with existing PostScript files.

1f2ec13d07 Change XQTR_S and YQTR_S to 29
The consequence of this is to narrow the diagonal strokes.  They go
from being 6% wider than horizontal and vertical strokes to being 0.4%
wider.  I like the consistency, but it also has a practical advantage:
at round pixel sizes the daigonal edges no longer pass through pixel
centres.  This means that we're no longer at the mercy of rasterizer
tie-breaking rules so (for instance) Ghostscripts rasterizations are
symmetric now.

Since the shape of diagonal lines on a real SAA5050 is determined by
both edges of a clock whose duty cycle is only specified as being
between 0.4 and 0.6, I claim this is still within the tolerances of
the original.

bc192756b4 editor.py: allow pasting a character description back in.
Middle-clicking will paste from the X primary selection and try to
interpret it as a sequence of octal numbers representing bitmap rows.

1d4e3daed8 Slight adjustment to ceiling and floor glyphs
They're a kind of bracket, so like other brackets they should span
from baseline to cap height.

239639d03f Better APL zilde
The zero is more important than the tilde, so make it properly
zero-shaped even though that turns the tilde into a bar.

84faed5e4c Add a few musical symbols
I thought repeat marks might be useful, and ended up doing a few others.  
The repeat marks and clefs are based on the assumption that a five-line 
stave fills the character cell and that you're using the clefs in their 
most common position.
