It has been pointed to me that control character glyphs occur at 0x2400 in
the new fonts just converted. This means that we can avoid abusing the
latin1.9 and ascii.10 fonts, though we lose the historically significant NUL
glyph.

If anyone is interested in seeing how the fonts look without my intrusive
Plan 9 font additions, do the following substitution:

line 2 of 9x18.font becomes:
	0x0000	0x001F	9x18.2400-2426

line 2 of 10x20.font becomes:
	0x0000	0x001F	10x20.2400-2426

the files there are all viewable with page, so to check the differences
between the two do:

	page 9x18.0-1F 9x18.2400-2426

I can imagine why the Plan9 people have decided to do this, the question is
which one do you like better?
