The Danish alphabet is identical to the english with the addition of
three characters:

	ae combination (what we might call the ae ligature)
	o with a slash through it
	a with a circle over it

These are conventionally tacked onto the end of the alphabet, as I
recall.

You should be able to modify a font using FED by playing with bitmaps
for a, e, and o.  Then it is just a matter of juggling the encoding.
