wild thought for the morning: those bordered characters ought to be output as
data and converted to a TrueType font, so the rest of us can use them too
(without the render time penalty).  ;-)

That's an interesting thought but as far as I know True Type fonts must be flat
so the reflective properties of the round font would be lost. These characters
are very simple and I'm willing to bet that they render as quickly as a True
Type font would anyway. And I have no idea how to do that! Sorry!

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston
