Okay, understood. However, this fails to explain the behavior of display
when given no argument whatsoever (still complaining about the <missing>
font it saw earlier?).
(I didn't know jpegs had fonts in them. I thought they were just
"images" of things. What's a font, anyway? I thought fonts were for/in
text).
But that's weird, isn't it, display failing to open without a file
argument, warning about a font? I would simply have blamed the initial
file (probably), if that hadn't have happened, although as I've shown,
my understanding of the whole deal is shaky.
Anyway, it all looks like a tempest in a teapot to me now.
