Yes..:-)..and my holidays are still running, so to answer Arash's
question, nothing happened.
What needs to be done is adding all characters mentioned by Eugenyi to
needed-characters/fa...
Then we need those glyphs in the bterm-unifont font and *that* is
tricky..:-)
Eugenyi managed to manually add a few of these characters to the font,
by...drawing...them in a 8x12 (not sure about the numbers) frame.
I tried to "import" characters from OpenType fonts to bterm-unifont,
but it failed because these glyphs do not fit in the 8x12 frame we
have in bterm.
The challenge now is: how the hell can we get all needed glyphs in
this font, without a completely tedious manual work. I have currently
no clue about this (and tons of mail to read before..:-)).
