[9fans] scat and latin1.6

[andrey mirtchovski]

scat uses the following font when plotting objects:

	/lib/font/bit/lucida/unicode.6.font

unicode.6.font defines 0x0 to 0xff to use the file named 'latin1.6'
which doesn't exist in /lib/font/bit/lucida.  there are two other
files, namely latin1.6.0 and latin1.6.1 with which scat works fine.

is there a bug in the .font file or has anything else changed?  was
cachechars ever supposed to find out the depth of the font image file
itself?  scat used to work a couple of years ago but i have no dumps
from that time so i have no idea whether the font was removed at some
point.

by the way, exporting "The Digitized Sky Survey, 102 CD-ROMs" as a
(grid) service on sources could be a good idea ☺

I believe cachechars searches for the best match of bit depth.
I think all is well. You should see files latin1.6.0 and latin1.6.1.
If they're missing, replace them.

latin1.6.0 and latin1.6.1 are there, but scat refuses to render text
with them:

0x0000-0x00ff is /lib/font/bit/lucida/latin1.6 in unicode.6.font...

Sorry, from outside.

I tried this, and got success, I mean got graphic plot without problem here.

I replaced latin1.6.1 by latin.1.6.1

I replaced latin.1.6.0 by latin1.6.1, sorry.
