Hello list,

Some time ago I was looking for a console font whose zero had no diagonal 
bar, because nowadays I find that makes it resemble an eight too closely.

At the time I said I'd found a font editor called nafe, which had allowed me 
to delete the offending bar. At the time I was prepared to put up with all 
ASCII line characters being shown as ? marks - as used in many ncurses 
applications like the kernel menuconfig. I assume the editor had truncated 
the font file.

Today I've revisited the problem and I've found a GTK font editor in the 
portage tree which has allowed me to do a proper job. It's x11-misc/gbdfed, 
which is simplicity itself to run. I wish I'd found it the first time! I'm a 
happy bunny now.

Just an update in case anyone's interested.
