How can I tell 9term to use my Unicode font etl16-unicode.bdf¹?  I am
using 9term 1.6.5 of 1995-11-28 which I believe is the latest release. 

When I start 9term without any -p9font it uses some default font and I
only get to see the ISO-8859-1 characters.  When I start it with

	xset fp+ /usr/plan9/Xg/bdf/
	9term -p9font /usr/plan9/Xg/lucm/unicode.9.font &

I get to see a lot more Unicode characters from Bigelow & Holmes'
Lucida Sans Unicode font like Cyrillic and many symbols.

But when I create my own etl.9.font with the content

	18	14
	0x0000	0xffff	-ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-ISO10646-1

9term -p9font etl.9.font opens a white window but dies immediately
with a SIGSEGV segmentation fault :(

So does wily which also uses Rob Pike's libXg.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Gratefully, Roman http://czyborra.com/
