Hi --
[1] I like 16 point fonts, as i use a terminal about a yard from me.  However
the default 16pt X.V11R2 font (fg-16) was missing several characters.  I added
up-arrow, underscore, backquote (lisp!) and backslash.  I also made a default
'bullet' fill character.  Anyone that wants a copy can get a copy from:
	csvax.caltech.edu  in the directories:
				/usr/spool/uucppublic
				/usr/spool/ftp/pub  (anonymous ftp login site)

[2] I did #[1] above by hand editing 'bdf' files.  UCK!  To repeat a question
i'm sure has been asked before: is there an x11 font editor???  I want to make
some more fonts.....

Thanks
- mike

ps: i'll try to submit the font to expo some time soon.  However, if someone 
there can grab it first, that would be best...
