There seems to be a consensus that exclamdown and questiondown extend from
...
the x-height to the descender line, rather than from the cap-height to the
baseline. Change mine to match, with muttering about getting what I deserve
for drawing a glyph I don't use.
Also fix a typo in the name of arrowdown.alt.

I don't think there's any need for my "palt" lookup to restrict itself from

considering ligatures. For one thing, I don't have any. Why FontForge
chose that as its default is anybody's guess.

Add a 'palt' feature providing alternative metrics for proportional
...
spacing. They're generated automatically (of course), but they work
quite well. Also apply what I think is a correction to the script
lists for 'salt' and 'aalt'.

Add a 'salt' feature for the characters that vary between chips, though

Add a couple of odd glyphs: a .notdef to stop FontForge generating one that

violates our design rules, and a dotted circle because Uniscribe would
apparently like it (though it probably won't use it unless we gain proper
combining marks).

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

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.

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.
