Thank you very much, Rob.

Yes, I was wondering there must be some smart way like your first method
in Plan 9, but not only by forcing it strongly.   I will try it.

Yes, I understand that.  I was trying to tell you the way to do it.
It's like this, schematically:

	s = allocimage(0, 0, HUGE, height);
	x = 0;
	for(i in number of characters){
		c = allocmemimage(0, 0, c.width, height);
		convert bdf to character in c
		draw(s, Rect(x, 0, x+c.width, height), c, nil, ZP);
		fontchar[i] = {...., x, ...};
		x += c.width;
	}
	t = allocimage(0, 0, x, height);
	draw(t, t->r, s, nil, ZP);

Or you could calculate the subfont width before allocating
s by adding another loop.
