yay. this windings approach looks cool. Can you explain in a wiki/web
the steps to create such font file, and how to do your setup?
i will probably not use it.. but i think it can be useful for things
like swk or dzen.
at least it simplifies a lot the image support with X api..

yes, I checked this and when I "xterm -fn

No, you can't use the path to the font. You need to add it to the font
path in X and then reference it BY NAME. Set the name when you edit
the font, do the xset commands I listed earlier, and try again. If you
name your font "myfancyfont", for example, you should be able to refer
to it as -*-myfancyfont-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* in xfontsel. If you
can't do that, you won't be able to use your font at all outside of
the font editor.
