I've used some of the font-hacking material from the net,
and came up with some pretty useful stuff, so thanks to all
who provided it (Mohammed, etc.).  NOW, I design my font
(very confidently, at this point), run cfont on it, place it
into the font directory, change a termcap name (keeping 80
columns, 24 lines), and the terminal (my s4, or 3b1) still seems
to think it has to print 100+ columns, so that each character
on the screen partially overwrites the previous one.  Sorry not
to be able to be more specific, but WHAT'S A GOOD LIST OF
STUFF TO LOOK AT?  I'm using vi, which I'm pretty sure uses
the /etc/termcap file on the UNIX-PC, I changed the hs and vs
variables in the *.ch file a couple times, I've even used
several versions of the termcap entry, modified and existing.
NOW WHAT?  Any hints?  Thanks in advance, even for suggestions
as non-specific as the question...
